Default Hello from Canberra, Australia

Hello All,

Just popping in to say "Hello" from Canberra, Australia.

Just recently made my 15 year dream of owning a Harley become a reality.

Fell in love with the bike when I saw it in the Harley dealers and as they had 2bikes available I wasn't in a rush.

Popped into the dealers not too long ago to buy a present for a friend and one of the Bikes was sold, problem is that I did my back in at work and was left with a decision, get the bike I have always wanted or let it slip by and regret the decision.

So I put all the money I could scrap together to put down a deposit on an Ex-Demo Softail Custom 105th Anniversay and left it in the hands of the dealer to get finance.

I've only had 2 small rides and road registration runs out tomorrow (so no more riding till I can scrape more money together for rego), but what the heck, I have followed my dream..

So now I'm poor, sore, but happy to the core.

Hidiho
