Yep, finally pulled the trigger on my first Harley. and im pumped. Its a 2013 Midnight Pearl. Was torn for the longest time between Vivid Black or Midnight.



I'm coming off a ZX10R. I am just ready to have that comfort, and be able to ride hours and hours.




Real Happy to be joining a new family.

Now that is a pretty big switch. What did you do with the Kawasaki? I just bought my first Harley, too, but I'm keeping my BMW and Triumph! (Of course, if I had bought the same H-D as you, I wouldn't be able to afford two other bikes!)

Not quite a ZX10 but I have an FJR1300 for the other variety of two wheels

Anyway, you sir have got a fine colour there and I would like that one too, alas it wasn't an option here last year. Still I'm ok with my BBP
