Default From Kentucky...With bourbon!

Hey all. New to the motorcycle scene.
History:
I have always wanted a motorcycle. I just never pulled the trigger. Just never found "the one". That was until 8 months ago... (I am 35 now) I found the one! It was a 2016 Slim S. Loved the paint scheme. I knew nothing else about bikes. The paint is what did it for me... Don't judge me.... ANYWAYS...
After having the Slim S for about 5 months and 4200 miles (over the warm winter) I decided that it wasn't enough. I could ride as far as I wanted to with the Slim S. Traded in for a 2016 Street Glide Standard in Crushed Ice White. 3 months into having this one and I have 5200 miles on it already. I could not be happier. Truly therapeutic. I look forward to learning from all you seasoned bikers. Safe riding and keep the rubber down.

I am going to the dealer tomorrow for my 5K service. They will wash it up for me at which point I will find a good place to snap some pics to post.
