Default First Time Harley Owner!!!!

I'm 23 and I just purchased my first Harley. I don't believe in credit so I bought what I could afford a 1990 Flhtc Electra Glide Solid. I paid $4,400 for it and overall it's in good shape. I have a few questions when it comes to updating and modifying it but I will save those for later. Just wanted to introduce myself!

Congratulations on the purchase - keep that cash philosophy and you'll never get in trouble.

Enjoy the ride!

Congrats on yer first Harley!
There's now no turning back!!

Ditto on yer paying cash philosophy, very smart way to go. Most people these day only know how to charge things and quickly become buried in debt. Kind of like the government on a much smaller scale - but still crazy.
Good luck on the bike, be careful!

Welcome to the forum. You need to make some credit purchases though. Just make the payments on time and pay them off. Will help you for future purchases, say a house.
