Default First Harley

Morning. Just purchased my first Harley. A 2003 Heratige Softail Classic. Been riding last 20 years from everything to dirtbikes, crotch rockets, and crusiers last 10 years. Always Metric but I broke down and traded in my 03' Vette on a Harley. I don't post a lot but I lurk a lot and love advice.

Jeff. 36 Years old. Florida.

day 2 on my first Harley. I've only been riding for ~ 6mo. Day 2 in the forums too. My hubby bought a 2005 softtail a year ago and we're having some great rides.
