Default First Harley

I bought a 2011 Street Glide, Black Denim with the Power Pak two days after the dealer show. So far the experience has been great, my local dealer was very helpful and had already put the exact bike I wan't on their dream sheet for there first shipments. The waiting has been killing me. I recieved word this morning that it has been shipped. Since I only live 60 miles from the factory lets see how long it takes to get to the shop.

My father started me riding from a very early age. I have only owned foreign sport bikes and motorcross bikes. My best friend got me on his '09 Street Glide and I was hooked. I hope my Harley owernship experience is as good as his has been to date.
