Default New guy from Abilene TX

Ok guys and gals, my name is Kenny. I live outside of Abilene TX and as of right now I dont ride a Harley. I know I know.....what am I doing here? Well let me tell you. I ride an 02 Honda Sabre 1100 right now cause thats what I could afford, but it is just enough to arouse my appetite without bedding it down for the night. My buddies all ride Harleys and Im GOING TO GET ONE by next summer. I am moving and changing jobs to facilitate my dream. Im going back to work as a Correctional Officer because they are extremely short handed and overtime is plentiful. The schedule is 4 on and 4 off and they let you work 3 of your days off as overtime. So as my sig says, I have alot of work ahead of me. I dont have stellar credit so im gonna have to pay cash.
I really like the looks of the Dyna Wide Glide but it is only available in the 105 year anniversary dress next year. Thats cool casue Im really leaning toward the Night Train anyhow, its a BAD looking ride. I will test drive a Dyna and a Softail as I get financially closer to being able to own one. Sorry bout the long post, and please dont kick me out cause I dont own a Harley now as I promise to READ more than POST. Youll barely even know Im here. Thanks in advance Kenny
