No I tried talking her into taking the Sportster but no dice. I have a 22 years old son who wanted to buy a rice rocket so I told him to take the Sportster. I guess he will, you know if it's free it's for me.

Lets see her man!
We all want to take a look.
Also, congratulations! I'm sort of in the same boat as some of the rest of the posts. 47 years old, haven't ridden for at least 15 years, this is my first Harley. Big regrets over not doing it way soon. Baggers are the real cats ***!
