Default New owner from MI via Guantanmo Bay Cuba

Its been 20 years since owning my last bike and coming close to getting a Harley 2x but life got in the way I finally did it! I am deployed to Guantanamo Bay and thru the military purchase program I got a sweet deal on a 2009 Fat Bob. Any military that is looking at a bike you should check it out. I got mine for $14,748 Out the door and it comes with the 4 year extended warranty for free. Not sure what dealership i pick it up at yet but it will be waiting for me in MI when i return in Aug.

Today is a good day!

I live in between Midland and Mt. Pleasant off HWY 20. Originally a cheese head but moved to Mi where my wife is from after getting off active duty. I am Air National Guard and I got called up to active duty.

That is a sweet deal. I was raised in MI. Where abouts will you be returning?
