Default New to Harley!
Hey All,
I'm the proud owner of a brand new 2014 Harley Davidson Electra Glide Limited edition. For years i resisted the big hogs cause I thought they were inferior to the BMW bikes of the world. Well now I have one and I love it! Love the rumble, the sound the comfort and I am impressed how agile she is! This bike beat out a Triumph Trophy SE, BMW 1200RT, BMW 1600 and Honda Gold Wing. Now I know what I been missing all these years.
