Lowman,
It looks NEW!
Must have been rode by an old lady only on Sunday mornings to church.

Very Nice!

Thanks Smitty - the bike might as well be brand new. Mez is borderline obsessive about bike maintenance and it really shows on this bike. He's the original owner and I have a well documented maintenence history on it. It's also been to Sturgis 3 times so I have a little positive mojo going on as well...
He's also selling his 2005 American Ironhorse and buying a new Road King...THAT'S going to be a sweet bike when he gets it home and tweaks things a little bit.

Thanks for the well wishes...and ride safe.

JB

Nice choice Lowman! I especially like the color. I wonder why??? Have fun with it and remember to be safe! Enjoy the "other" new package when she arrives. I still have a baby girl ----- she's 21 now.

Funny you mentioned the "other" package jmb - here she is!!!

Isabella Marie was born September 4th at 1:24 PM. 9 pounds 2 ounces - and Mom did it all naturally - no drugs or anything. I awarded her 3 of my medals meritoriously for her calm demeanor under adverse conditions.

I am in love with this little girl and I have to admit that this whole experience has already changed my life for the better a thousand times over.


Thanks again for all the kind thoughts and words. This forum is filled with great people and I am truly grateful to be a member.

JB

Lowman,

You are definitely riding a high point in your life !!! I helped deliver my two boys (19 and 17 years ago) and this spring they both helped their mom deliver my first Harley to our doorstep! Hold on tight to the little one, they grow too fast.

Best wishes to mom and the little one and drive safely for both of them!

Al.

I will definitely have fun riding - and I salute you for getting interested in bikes - especially Harley Davidsons - early on in life. I wish I had bought one earlier on, but it's never too late.

Let us know when you manage to get your hands on one and post some pics!!!!

Howdy Dad, congrats on Isabella Marie. There seems to be some character holding your new baby, did you say that it was Okay to do that or did he just do it on his own? Now you can watch her grow up just the same as I got to watch my daughter grow up. Enjoy the times, because it seems like they grow up fast.

Thats a sweet looking Fat Boy! I love that cover with the skulls. Very cool!
