Default Favorite Sportster Moment
I have only had my Nightster for about six months... So I am curious what the veterans have to say here... So far my favorite memory has to be: Riding to the top of a nearby mountain vista in Boise on the 4th of July and watching the fireworks from the seat of my new Harley. I had an absolutely perfect view, and I just felt extremely patriotic riding an American legend on the 4th.

Best for me has been riding through Red Rock, NV. So incredibly beautiful, words hardly do it justice!

Damn good one Steve! I've been through Red Rock in my truck... I can only imagine the trip on a bike... I am planning a trip through Bryce and Zion national parks in Utah in the near future (for similar reasons).

I've got a couple but they are a little fuzzy in my memory. And not PG rated.
