Smile My First Harley

Took delivery today of my first Harley. After many years of riding mostly Hondas, I decided to join the fraternity of American Iron. So far, only 400 miles put under her, and will take some time before I'm totally comfortable with the bike, but I already love it. The posts in this forum were very helpful in the research and planning of this purchase.

I got my first Harley a year ago and am very happy about my decision. They do have more soul than any metric bike. Welcome to the club. Nice color too!
