I cant wait to get out on the road to feel that freedom that riders have...and im lucky enough to get to feel it on a harley

If anyone owns one of these let me know what I should expect im all ears

Well you can expect to spend a crap load of money on things you don't need. By the way, two important things to remember, people don't buy what they need, they buy what they want...And HD stands for Hundred Dollars...Once you embrace that you will actually enjoy, and sometimes even justify your new money pit called Harley Davidson.

You can expect some really nice times riding alone and with friends.
You can expect to be completely invisible to anyone in a truck or car, so sign up for rider courses as soon as possible and ride like you are invisible and no one can see you, then, grasshopper, you will have learned.

You can expect to have chicks dig you, um well, (your bike really) as they are chick magnets. You can expect to participate in many good charitble events that support very worthy causes as Harley owners are always willing to open their hearts and wallets to the needy. You can expect to see the sky, mountians, ocean, trees, dogs, deer, intersections and many other things differently from the back of a Harley.
You can expect to get down right tired of waiving to every biker you pass on Saturday, but you do it anyway, cause its just cool!. You can expect a simple Hamberger to taste better when you get there to eat it on your harley. Beer is suddenly colder in the summer, and coffee taste better on a stop in the early fall mornings. There is a lot more that happens once you join the club, but you will discover those all by yourself. Good luck and enjoy.
