We're looking forward to all the riding we'll be doing together.
Welcome from Yokosuka, Japan! Wich I could get my wife to learn how to ride but she has a hard enough time balancing 4 wheels

Default First Harley

Hi, just purchased a 2008 Crossbones. I have ridden dirt bikes forever and had a Honda 750 at one point. Coming back from a ride (XR650L) one day I noticed all the Harleys passing me by. My back was starting to hurt and that sight with all those guys sitting in their barco-loungers got me to thinking "why am I suffering like this". Waited for the right bike to come around and picked up the 2008 with 141 miles (previous owner was overseas for 2 years).

Welcome for Toronto - I'm a first time Harley owner as well. Not sure why I was wasting my time with other bikes before.
