Default Done Lurking

I've been hanging around for quite a while, finally getting closer to my first Harley.
Did a demo on a Street Glide last week at the AZ Bike Week rally and that sealed it, I will definitely be getting a SG or an EG.

Got my eye on a used 09 SG with few add ons @ 18K, seems a little steep but it is right at the book value.
Also been going back and forth between newer and older(cheaper). Just have to work out the $.

Just wanted to say the info on this forum has been awesome.

Welcome to the forums. Just do it! It's only money and you only go around once. Got my first HD, a '10 SG last August and my only regret is not having done it long ago.

"5 years of lurking............about time"

Lol
I knew i might catch some grief on that, I registered a long time ago and just visited occasionally. Thought i would post now that I'm getting serious.

Always wanted a Harley, but back in 99 I chose the shadow over a sportster. Don't regret it.
Ready for a change.
