Hello to everyone!
Been away from Motorcycles for 27 years. Got Divorced and have started my second childhood.
Picked up a new 07 Street Bob in October and put about 600 miles on it so far. Man these Harleys got some awsome torque!
I put a set of Samson Big Gun-3's on it, forward controls, drag bars, 2-up seatand some leather bags. This has the 96CI. engine and 6 speed trans which is supposed to be the biggest production Harley do date?
My *** is gonna get out of the house and do some rid'in this summer! Did'nt like the comfort of the seat so I did a search and found a place that sells gel pads, bought one, carved out the seat foam and glued it in. Have'nt had a chance to ride it yet but it feels good sitting in the garage hehe.
Look forward to chatting with whoever wants to and maybe even getting in on a ridein.
