Hi everyone,
I'm a middle-age biker who started riding bikes at 10 yrs old. Hondas, Yamahas, Kawasakis is where I cut my teeth.Forty years later, I got my first Harley and from then on, wouldn't ride anything else. My first was a '04 Dyna Wide Glide. My fiancee took her first ride everon it and decided she needed a bike of her own. We bought her an '06 1200 Low Sporty. She learned to ride, went to safety school and got her license. Due to some medical problems last summer, she had to stop riding so we traded both bikes in and got a '08 UC. When the docs brought her problems under control, she wanted her own bike to ride again. We got her another Sporty, this time a '99883 custom. I really didn't like riding the UC by myself, so I traded it in just today for an '08 Heritage.
