Default Bought Me A Harley Today

I'm now officially a Harley owner.......... AGAIN. It has been 14 loooooong years since I've owned a Harley, but today I rectified that situation by buying a 2005 EGC (red).

As I logged onto this site a few minutes ago, I saw a sig pic by "malmax" that looks almost exactly like the one I bought. The only difference I could see is that my bike doesn't have the fairing "lowers" on the crash bars. Otherwise, it's a dead ringer for the one in this photo below........... minus the snow.

Click here to see it.

EDIT: I finally got a picture of my new (2005) Harley. Look on page 3 of this thread for the picture. The sun wasn't at the right angle for a good photo, but I guess it will have to do until I can take a better picture.

Congrats!

If you don't have the crash bar, get one. Saved my paint more than once!

Welcome and let the passion ake over your realism, hope your better half has a good sense of humor and if you don't one good for you. I waited til I was 48 before I got my first Harley. +1 on the crash guards.

Oh, I've got the crash bars. Wouldn't ride without them. I just don't have the "fairing lowers". At least I THINK that's what they are called.

Welcome back. My wife and I took a few years off too. It was worth the wait though.
