Just Saying Hello
Just Saying Hello from East Central Wisconsin
Just thought I'd pop in and say hello after buying a 2010 Limited a little over a month ago. This is my third bike. My first was a brand new 1995 1200 Sportster that I traded in a year later for a 1996 Fat Boy when my wife said I looked too big on the Sportster. I stupidly sold my Fat Boy in 2003 when I had two very young kids and my riding time dwindled to almost nothing. I thought I would just pick another one up someday.
Well that someday didn't happen for 11 years. Kids are expensive and finding a way to budget a Harley Davidson was tough for me. To keep me from going insane all those years I'd borrow my dad's bike from time to time. In 2010 he bought a Limited and over the last couple of years his riding time dwindled due to an ailing back since he's 72 years old. About two months ago he pulled me aside and told me he was thinking about selling the bike. A couple of weeks after that he pulled me aside and made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I certainly got the benefit a very generous father to son discount.
The bike itself is stock air cleaner/engine/exhaust wise except for the Samson mufflers. I plan on changing that which is why I'm here - for the research. Otherwise, the bike has a painted inner fairing, pulled back handlebars with braided clutch/brake lines and various other small add-ons.
Hopefully, I'll be able to get some good information here and thanks for having me.
