Default Waited 20 years

I would like to say hello from Pittsburgh
appreciate the forum read some almost everyday

The bike I was gunna buy was a lowrider that was 20 years ago???
got a wife & house instead!!

I rode a lot of bikes, always had one before the wife
this is my 1st. Harley & I love it, was looking at a lot of used bikes, but you guys all want to much for them
my wife said for a couple thousand more you might as well buy a new one (Shes a great woman) we went to every Harley dealer around
4 kids, 3 grand kids later I finally got my Harley in June
08 Heritage (hope the Pic goes thru??)
excuse the picture taken just after bringing it home (in the rain, was going to rain all day I waited 20 years I wasn't going to wait another week) at least I got a good rain suit out of the deal.
Ken



people tell me I am supposed to go thru life & keep myself as pristine as possible??
BUT I THINK I should I come thru those Pearly gates, sliding sideways,
banged up, used up, hair all messed up, exclaiming "WOW what a ride"

Welcome from South Florida. Congrats on the new bike, most of us "older generation" have been there, and done that.
