I've been riding for a while, but finally decided that a Harley would give all of the benefits I was looking for in a bike for the type of riding I like to do.

Ended up with a very clean 2002 Fatboy, EFI, lots of chrome, only 14k miles, aftermarket exhaust, LED rear lights, badlander seat, detachable backrest, etc etc. I must say, the experience of riding a Harley is AMAZING compared to the other bikes I was used to.

We all know that these posts are useless without pics, so I'll get on with the show:
