Hi, my name is Steph and I have an itch that needs to be scratched.


I have been riding bikes sins I was able to do so and my dad had a Softail Deluxe at one stage which I probably drove more than he did, after he sold it life just wasn't the same, so now I have that scratch that can only be scratched by a HD, and sins our Rand is going down the drain I won't be able to afford a Deluxe.


I was looking at the 883 Iron, something more for driving in town between work and back and in all honesty I like the blacked out look of the Iron, the chrome worked on the Deluxe, but knowing that I spend more time polishing that bike than riding it, I would prefer something on the dark side.
