Default Hello from Colorado

Hello everyone, I just picked up my first HD after a 20 year layoff from bikes. Past riding has been offroad, motocross and a Honda CX500 for the road. I found this 97 Heritage, LOW milage and a good price made it tough to pass up. Like the rest of you, I have always wanted a Harley. Now if I can just get mother nature to cooperate, temps were in the 60 and even 70 before I got it. It hasn't been above the 40's and we've getting snow from the day I picked it up.


The forums are great! I've already picked up a ton of good info over the past two weeks and looking forward to leaning more from all of you.





Twenty minutes later taking the picture and it would have been covered in snow!
