I got me a Bob!
After lurking in the forum for, oh, about 3 months, I guess it's only polite to surface and introduce myself.
I'm based in Bournemouth on the South Coast of England. I bought my first Harley as a belated 34th birthday present to myself, a 883, September 2000 and just love that thing. However, when I first saw a Street Bob in the metal (at HD Open House Oxford 2005) I knew I had to have me one of those... one day. In October of last year, I droped into my local(ish) dealership (Dockgate 20, Southampton) to pick up a bit I'd ordered my my Sporty. A Street Bob demo was on the floor and I just happened to have my licence on me... About an hour later I was back in the dealership signing the papers. The was no question about it. (Though that exhorst HAD to go!) I was lucky - the sales manager there, expecting this _might_ be a popular model, had ran a few more orders through than he _actualy_ had. The result? I had my new Bob ready for collection on December 21st. Despite some pretty shocking weather, I've finally got the bike ran in and ready for the first service.
Mods? SEII's before to took collection, then headbolt bridges, finned derby, smoked indicators, some (restrained) chrome: grips, foot rests (for me and her), shifter, pilion seat (that I just can't bring myself to put on - therein lies another story).
Sorry if I've rambled a bit, but I just wanted to say "Hi" and a big thankyou to all contributors to this forum - this place is neat!
Yeah, I've still got my Sporty too.
