Default Noobies first

Well today I had my first ride on a Harley Davidson. I rode a 1200N on a demo ride, it was about a 15 mile ride. After the ride I decided to go for the all black 1200N I can't wait for it to get here in June. Cheers! [sm=wootwoot.gif]

I don't think I would have been able to wait. I would have been driving all over the metroplex 'til I found one.

I wold have gone to another dealer but the nearest one other than the one in townis about an hour away. It also works out because I'll be gone for may due to work. Trust me its going to be hard to wait.Thanks Binny, I decided on the nightster because it's in my price range and it fits my personalitly. I'm looking forward to cruisin the town. I just need to make some friends with people with rides.... [sm=deal.gif]
