Default Made it,

Hello Everyone,
A long story short (15 years in the making),My wife and kids got there new car and house and i got a Harley.Last week i picked up a 2010 Street Bob.

I have been riding every day after work ,taking it easy on the first 500 break in miles.Its labor day weekend so im going to get some good riding miles in.

This is my first bike, not counting the dirt bikes i once raced, Endro, before i was married,but gave up the dirt for work..So after many years of work and saving and being good i did it.Im am totally satisfied and after the break in time i really get my rocks off.

I been crawling the forum and picking up on some good info like cutting out the muffler baffles ,auto tuners ,ect

I did the muffler mod last night with a unibit and tweaked out the sound a little..ohhh yahh

Im going to be doing some more mods this year and after and on and on and so on . This seems like the place to get some great info!!!!
