Default Got my first!

Just purchased on Saturday. Great bike, all 300+ miles of it so far. I've got the biggest sh*t eatin' grin on my face every mile. Should have done this years ago but I guesss I had to get through the Valkyries (2), the Goldwings (2) and the Venture to appreciate what I have now. This is really a quality machine, I'm really impressed with this bike. At least I can say I got mine before I turned 50!
I'm suprised that it actually is smaller size-wize than my Venture, but that actually adds to the better handling, and there's just nothing like a 'Twin.
Dealer let me test drive it before I signed the papers, he must have known I wouldn't walk away from it.
Looking forward to learning all I can about the bike here, lot's of good reading material to keep me busy.

By the way, can anyone suggest a good Harley history book?

Thanks all
Joe

Yeah, I still have that look on my face every time I get on my bike (I've had it for a year) . . . then I remember that I am on a Harley and I should try to look mean (as per the stereotype). . . but I just can't help having a grin on my face when I ride it. Especially now that I built it up to a 95c.i.

Congrats on the bike!
