Howdy, welcome to the forum. Congrats on the new SG. I know how you feel, my wife was the same way for a little while after I got my new Harley. She'll get over it. Enjoy the ride.

it's the gloss black 06 SG, but what I really love about it is the fat 160mm, fat 49mm forks, EFI, and 6 speed tranny that are all stock this year. I have some bikini beach bars on order and when I get them on I'll post some pics. Starting to get cold here up in northern IL, that leaves more time for customizing. Originally I'm from Las Vegas, but now living up here in BFE, I moved from the entertainment capitol to the milk capital!

she seems to be slightly over it today, but it took a fifty percent ratio of my customizing budget as hush money to achieve the reprieve
