Good day to all. I am real glad to be part of the HD family. This is my first HD, ( been riding a Honda shadow for last 4 years) I chose the FLHXI, vivid black. Since I am in Canada I will only be able to ride in 4-5 months, going to be hell of a long winter.

Welcome!! Glad you found the forum. AND the Harley family! Little different situation, but I too have ordered a new Street Glide, and I'm going to have to wait to ride it...anticipation kills.

Enjoy THINKING about the ride...
