Howdy folks! Been hanging out here a LOT over the last few years but haven't posted much. I've been reading most of the posts here and picking up a little bit o' info and a little bit o' b.s. to go with it, lol! I've had 3 metrics and my last bike was a Honda 750 CB, and that was 25 years ago. I've wanted a Harley forever and finally *have one! Just got my motorcycle license and have cleared out one whole side of the garage, for those times when I'm not riding.
Anywho, yesterday I went and put down most of my down payment on my first Harley and will be paying the rest and riding away on her this coming *Friday! I picked a vivid black (of course) 2013 Street Glide that has ABS/Security, Cruise, Stage 1 w/Kuryakyn Crusher & hiflo intake, 4 point dock w/Phantom luggage rack and passenger backrest. Also has the oil cooler already installed! The pic in my sig was taken with my phone, but I'll post better one's after I get her home and out on the road!
