Default From your neighbour to the north!

Hows it going everyone!
So I have been secretly lurking around HDforums for a couple months sucking up as much knowledge as I could before I made delievery on my bike. The time has arrived where I can proudly post pics of my first motorcylce, my 2008 street bob! Im 22 years old, been saving for a couple years, and finally I can proudly say I own a harley! Im in Brampton, ON, and the only other bike forum ive seen for the GTA is full of broke-back harley owners, so any enlightement would be great!

Nothing much done to it yet, just added forwards, siren and pager, however Ive got shortshots and a fuelpak waiting in the basement for a nice day, some beers and my break period to complete.

A friend (BMW owner) called me when he found out I was bootin around on a harley, asked me: 'what did one harley rider say to the other harley rider at a stop sign?' I quickly replied: 'they said, Arent you glad you bought a harley and not a BMW' haha. Just thought Id share incase anyone hears that one.

pics attached!
