Default New to Harleys
Joined the forum back in July 07 approximately one month before picking up my first Harley Davidson, an FLHTCUI Electra Glide. Being my first Harley i was a little apprehensive with regard to the weight etc. However , many of you kindly replied to my post and reassured me all would be ok.

Well, some 7 weeks later, my wife and i are still grinning!!!!

Excellent ride!!

My advice to any one considering a Harley......go for it!!! After having Japanese bikes most of my life, what a refreshing change to get back to a real motorcycle. And, as a few of my friends who are non bikers have commented, A WORK OF ART!!!!

Will post some photographs soon,
