Default Finally I got a buddy to ride with.

My twin brother and myself are VERY close together. Some times we dress alike,we think the same,and spend a lot of time together. Long time agoeven had two exact cars (Porsche 944's). Well,last November I decided to buy me a bike, a 2003 883 hugger. Since then,I kept telling himto get one too. Yesterday, he pulled the trigger and got a 2006 883 L with 5000 miles on the clock for $5200.
I rode his bike home for him and not too long afterwards he was riding his bike himself. It has been a while since he has ridden one,but he did great. He can't wait for the weekend to comeso we can go ride together. I am so happy and proud forhim and look forward for some brotherhood time.

Even though I have posted here only 9 times I am visiting the site almost everyday. I try to be under the radar.

Brothers don't shake hands... Brothers gotta hug! ...

That is a great story friend... You guys will have a blast!

I have been trying to get my dad back into riding again... It has been about twenty years for him... But he used to ride all the time, and he still rides my bike occassionally... He loves the look of the Softail Deluxe
