hi im Dennis burger from Iola Wisconsin and i have been watching and reading threads all full of good and useful stuff, and waiting to pick up my 1st Harley a 06 Electra glide classic black cherry.the old lady pick it so i said thats the color we need. well yesterday was the day and I'm dam near speechless! the power and smooth ride hell the whole experience from the dealer in Wausau answering all our questions and showing us every thing on the bike,to the walk around tour of the shop. hell i just bought a new truck last summer and did not get treated this nice! the ride home was cold and i couldn't feel my fingers for 2 hours afterwards but i would not trade it for all the archery shoots in the world! which I'm sure will suffer from riding the bike and not practicing that much! thats my wife jamie and our little rats paige and amber "odie" in the pic.
