Default I'm back!!

After trading my Electra glide for a softail, then for a street glide, I had no bike for the past year and change (had to pay for daughters college) and now I got me a new Road Glide Special. Plus got the dealer to throw in a full exhaust system, Rinehart true duals, screaming eagle intake, tune and dyno. Picking her up next week.

It means I chose to sell my bike so I can pay her classes

Awesome move. Plan on doing the same for my daughter. I dont want her starting out life in debt. If I have to sell my bike to do it...I will.
