Default My first bike!

Hello everybody! Bought my first Cruiser last Saturday at the Dealership in Marietta! A 2011 Street Glide with a few mods and upgrades already installed from the previous owner that just so happens to work at the shop. I grew up riding dirt bikes and 4 wheelers all my life, as well as a LOT of borrowing my best friends Ninja. Since bringing her home I've been on it almost every day and loving every mile! I've also been lurking on the site for the last few months and have learned a lot from the forum, so thanks for all the knowledge and be safe!
