Default Finally pulled the trigger
As of this morning, I am the (very) proud owner of a 07 Sporster 1200C. $5800....4k miles....just couldn't pass it up. Should have the bike either later this week or early next week...then it gets to sit at my place for a month until I can take the rider safety course. Going to be a looong month.

Good move ... how come the rear tire looks so worn in photo #3? I was just wondering because I have seen 20,000 mile tires look better ... optical illusion?

Here is a little better pic of the back tire, I think they just rolled it through something.

Nice bike at a killer price. So I take it that you don't ride now? well that's a nice first bike and don't hurt her or better yet let her hurt you.
