Hello all, Finally came to the dark (or enlightened) side and became a Harley owner a month ago (2012 FLHTK in tequila sunrise). Been riding metrics but decided to make the jump after renting an Ultra Limited to participate in a club ride. Rode over 300 miles that day with no butt burn. Nice. The Hondas were only good for about an hour and we were ready to get off. Since my wife rides too, naturally she had to have one. New 2017 Heritage Classic. First week she put 700 miles on it. I think she likes it ..... a lot 😉😊.

Anyway, hope to pick y'alls brain on stuff and get some tips on how to's.
