Smile Gone Harley! / New Member!

Cryo-Man Here.

The wife asked why did I want a Harley Davidson Motorcycle when there was plenty of foreign bikes that look just the same and cost allot less? Then I asked her why did she want a real Diamond Ring when there are plenty of Cubic Zirconias that look just like a Real Diamond and cost allot less! She went and helped me pick out my new 2009 Heritage Classic and all is GOOD!
