Congrats on the bike and Good Luck with it.
As for me, I went back-a$$wards, I started out with an 06 RoadKing (my first harley after riding metrics and sports) with a detachable fairing, radio heated hand grips etc... then started going back to basics.
I love my new Nightster... it's light and nimble and has that raw old school meets technology kinda feeling to it. Tho I do miss the heated hand grips lol.

Good deal congrats. With that color, it really is a red headed step-child. Tain't nothin' wrong with a Sporty. Two of my buddys ride Sportsters and the other rides a Shovelhead. Narrow Glides rule! Enjoy.

I love this post LOL! Yeah I mean at what point does it stop being a bike and it becomes a 2 wheeled car? If I want heat, tunes, cup holders and all that stuff I will take on of our cars.
