Default First Harley
As of a couple weeks ago, I've joined the ranks of Harley owner. Been riding motorcycles of all types for nearly 30 years but this is the first Harley I've ever ridden. Picked up a 2008 SG and have been absolutely in love with it! There's no real explanation as to the difference between my SG and all the other metrics I've ridden...it's just different.

I live near Kansas City, MO and also belong to the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association. Can't wait to get on the road with my fellow brothers and eat some asphalt up!
