Default New to Harleys

Hello, my name is Kory and was the first of my friends to move from sport bikes to cruisers and jumped all the way in going with a Harley. I bought a 06 Street Bob and so far have been loving it although wish I was a member here to learn the issues with the 06 before I bought it but I know how to turn a wrench so not to worried. Not only am I new to Harleys this year but headed to Sturgis next Wednesday.

Hey Kory, back in 1987 I bought a Hurricane 1000...still have it today, with only 1600 miles on it. Thats because in 1989 I bought a FXSTC still have it also. But with ALOT of miles on it. (Nuff said). Welcome to the Harley way of life.
