Default Just bought a Softail

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to say hi. I am new to this Harley thing. I've just purchased a 2002 Heritage Softail. My other bike is a triumph Thruxton. My wife wanted me to get something that she could ride on with me so... It didn't take me too long to get another bike after she brought up the subject.
