Thumbs up It's About Time Already

Hi, New to the forum , as far as posting goes. I was waiting until I had got myself a bike I wanted to post here, I have read thousands of everybody's posts here and been lurking for a long time.

Well today was a big day for me.

Bye Bye BMW, bye bye Yamaha, bye bye Honda.

Daddy got a Harley , finally.!

And I am totally in love with this bike. I wanted something unique, yet nostalgic(Daddy's got a few years) , something with character and the right price and condition. Today- it happened.
No more settling, no more compromise, and no financing!

1996 Softail Springer Bad Boy.FXSTSB

As soon as I learn how to, I will post some pics. She's sweet as she is and I'm gonna do some work where I feel the workin needs to be done so she's all mine.

Meantime, thanks to all of you who have been posting what I been reading. I got a lot from it. And I feel like I know some of your personalities pretty well. I have learned a lot a lot lurking here. Thanks , and I am hoping that in the future I can post something of value to another lurker as well.

Did I mention I was in Love?

Thanks.

I saw your name and the Elvis pic, but, Suriname really threw me.
Are you there now? I been to Memphis on business, flew there drove to Oxford Miss, drove back to Memphis with a day or two to kill and visited Graceland. I was awestruck as I am a big Elvis fan.
Are you originally from there?

Howdy, welcome to the forum. I remember what a Bad Boy Springer looks like and I like them, course I am sort of a Springer fan. Enjoy the ride.
