Now you've gone and done it. You'll never feel over forty. All your old non-riding friends will get old and decrepit and you will still be smiling in the wind and feeling forty. Trust me, I've been riding longer than you have been living and I think I just turned forty.

I've always loved motorcycles, but I never bought a Harley until I turned 50. WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG? LOL

Enjoy yours.

I bought my first Harley in 63', an old Panhead that had been wreaked. I have owned many since then and I can say the smile on my face is the same one from 63'. Welcome to the Harley family.

When people would tell me stories of this passion I would laugh at them. Man were they right.
Thanks for reading
