Default another fu-new-guy here.....chicago area
I'm into recycling, so I figured why not buy someone elses ride for my first Harley. Hope you guys don't mind. Picked up a 2003 Heritage Classic. Rides like a dream. Just getting too cold in Chicago to enjoy it, so I hope to enjoy this forum and learn more about bikes and riding them.

Nothing like a recycled Heritage. Mine's an '87 and has over 110,000 miles on 'er.

I plan on taking my bike out this weekend. I just wish I had it earlier in the season. It is a pleasure to ride.

Haven't had a chance to take any pics yet, but I will take some this weekend. Never home when the sun is out.
Thanks for all the "Welcomes"
Dan
