Default Finally have a Harley!
My names Mike, I've been riding for a year now. I know that doesn't seem long but I ride everyday I have to work. Going from My town to the capital everyday around 47 miles one way so close to 100 miles every work day. So I definitely have my miles on.
Yesterday the wife and I stopped at our local yuba city Harley Davidson lot, just to look at helmets. But we needed up leaving with an Electra Glide Ultra Classic touring model. And man this Christmas couldn't get any better lol!
I'm very interested in modifying my bike to fit me perfectly so I'll probably have a lot of questions in that area of the forum for ideas and suggestions. But for now even in this chilly weather I'm riding around in Cali!
