Default Howdy from "HarleyDavidson-land" !!!
Howdy from "HarleyDavidson-land" !!! [/align][hr]

Yo...my name's Dave, but some call me "vid"...(3/5 of David)
Actually, I'm about 1/2 hour south of the "HD MotherShip", (Milwaukee).
Just bought my wife a black '05 XL1200C for her birthday.
(only 700 miles on it!) Decent price from the dealership.
Came with 2-up seat & sissy bar, smooth rims f/r, security system, bags.
Added crash bars, windshield & bag, HD throwover bags, bored stock pipes, Screamin' Eagle air cleaner.
Should be a big improvement over her '81 Yamaha 750 Virago! [/align]I test rode the Sporty and it was *exciting*...but at 6'4"/215 lbs it's just too small for me.
For now, I'm happy with my '04 Yamaha V-Star 1100 Classic, but someday I'd like to have a Road King Classic...and a V-Rod!!!
