New here. Picked up a 2011 HD Forty-Eight.

Always loved Harleys, but always been more of a car guy. Decided (after the divorce) it was time to chase my dreams, so I got my Vette and now my Harley. Had it for about 3 weeks now, I try to ride it every day!

Enough about me, here's the bike:

Since those pics, I have removed the rear brick and swapped to a Nightster seat.

The bike... AWESOME! The car... AWESOME! The Desert Eagle... I owned one for about a week before I discovered how completely useless it was as anything but a noise-making flame-thrower that pissed everyone off at the range.

Hey Chris - welcome to the forum and congrats on the new ride! Looks awesome. Have a couple of questions about the pics you had taken of your bike by Kate Heathcock. Shoot me a message or an email, if you don't mind. Thanks!

Congrats on the Vette too. I have had 4. First was a '71 350/350. Then I picked up a used 98 coupe, then a new 2000 coupe in Millenium Yellow, then ordered an 01 Z06.

Hopefully I can pick up another Vette one of these days.

Wow, nice bike, nice car, nice pistol, custom photography of the bike.

Sounds like you had a great divorce attorney.

Congratulations on the new toys.
