Default My First Harley Davidson

Hey everyone..here's my first Harley - and I'm glad I waited and got a Fatboy. The bike is a 1993 and she's in immaculate condition - and has some pretty sweet extras that make it a fairly unique bike.

I am hoping to have everything wrapped up within the next few weeks and get her on the road so I can do some riding before the NY winter starts rolling in.

Once I get her home I'll take some more pics...I took this one yesterday at the my buddie's bike shop.

Between my daughter being born any day and my first Harley - I am one happy guy.

Thanks for all the advice and opinions regarding all the questions I've thrown out there since I joined.


JB

And sorry for the bluish tint to the photo...I'll take some much better pics when I get her home.

Thanks for the pic of your FB, looks like somebody really spent some time on it. Also, congrats on the new little one to come along soon. Hope that she is a healthy baby and that you and your family have a great day.

Thanks for the kind words and well wishes Springer - you are a class act sir.

XXX - we DEFINITELY have to take some rides before the winter comes - I'll get some pics together of me backstage with Slayer on the Jagermeister tour last year...that was a good time.

Clammy - thanks for the compliment...just promise keep the low end bone-shaking for us metal fans.

I'll post some pics of the little one and the bike when I get them both home.

Thanks again everyone.

JB

Awesome JB - you beat me to it. She looks even better in that pic.

I can't wait to get her home and on the road...
