Congratulations. Don't be too overconfident the first time you get to take her out. A harley out on the streets is an entire different ball game compared to those little 250s in a parking lot with cones.
Oh I'm well aware....part of me very stoked over getting a bike....the other part is scared stiff over wadding the thing up the first time I take it out. I'm not an overly crazy guy, most people are actually going to be surprised as hell that I actually got one.
Nice looking bike. I always liked the 2 tone paint schemes that included the off white/cream color. A buddy at work had one that was orange and cream.....we called it the Creamcicle (ya know, like the ice cream treat?). Anyway, that was a good looking bike! And so is yours!
Have fun!
I suppose I should probably go to my profile and fix that. I'm in Chattanooga, so a little south of you. Originally from the very northern part of ND though, been down here for about 9 years now.
Oh, and thanks to everyone else for the great posts, appreciate it!
Congats! I am a new member so I can't see your pics but it sounds like you got a great deal. Suggested reading is a book called "Proficient Motorcycling" "The Ultimate Guide To Riding Well". Great book for reading during your downtime to give you knowledge on keeping the shiny side up.
