For as long as I can remember, I've loved motorcycles. I've read about 'em. Research 'em. Photographed them and built models of them. I've never been on one though. A few weeks ago, I went with a friend of mine (who has a gorgeous Harley) to the HD production facility in Kansas City. That was it. I can't stand it any longer.
I have decided that I want to start riding. I absolutely love the classic cruisers. A fully dressed Softtail with wide whites on chrome spokes and a nice long set of fishtails is my dream. Hopefully, it'll happen one of these days. In the meantime, I thought I'd come in here and meet some people and learn more about what it is to own a Harley.
