Default New from NH

Hello all...just started riding this year and my first bike is a 2009 Road King Classic. I acquired it by having a little bit of luck...who am I kidding, A LOT OF LUCK!!

I got a hole-in-one in a golf tournament and won this amazing machine! Everyone said sell it and take the cash, but my wife said "keep it, i want to go for a ride!" They told me your wife is always right! So here I am, loving the bike and just loving the freedom of being on the road. Best golf swing I ever made!

Now if I could only find a way to strap my bag to the back of the bike?!?!
