Greetings from Denver everyone! I have been riding for over two decades, but dreaming of owning a Harley since birth. Anyway, after too many years of riding metric bikes, I found a 2004 FXSTI that wouldn't let me leave the dealer empty handed.
Within the first few seconds of riding the Softail, I realized what I had been missing. There is something inexplicable about riding a H-D. I have owned dual-sports, cruisers, tourers, and crotch rockets from various other manufacturers, but none have put a smile on my face like my most recent purchase. I am glad to be a new Harley owner!
