Kanelakos, congragts on your purchase, I just bought my first Harley about 2 months ago, it's not new, but is a sweet ride. I bought a 99 electra glide with 27K miles. It is in great shape, everyone that see's it can't believe it is 11 years old.

I'm 55 years old and finally got my Harley, my kids think I am both nuts and cool, my wife and I have spent our whole lives dedicated to the kids and things they are into, now it is our turn and we are having a blast. We've been out riding every weekend.

Enjoy yourself and be safe.
