Default Hello from Milwaukee

Signed a contract on an inbound midnight pearl street glide with ABS and security. They say it will be in the end of April, I am optimistic for mid April, can't wait.

Time to figure out if I want to start modding it or save some cash and enjoy in stock form for a year.

Rode sportbikes in college, been about 7-8 years since I have ridden, it's been too long.

Look forward to browsing the forums and snagging some knowledge, maybe meeting some local members.

Welcome, unless you are negotiating some mods as part of the purchase, might be prudent to ride it a bit before putting back in the shop for mods, of course that all depends on riding weather at the time of arrival and how patient you are. Nice color BTW, like the solid Midnight Pearl (yes I am biased) , but looks good from a distance (black) , and up close or in the sun the pearl shows well. Congrats.
