Default New to Harley
I’ve been riding for more than 18 years, mostly legal. I’ve owned only two (now three) bikes. I started on a 2000 VStar 1100. In 2002 I added a new CBR600F4i till I totaled it after several “accidents”. My Star was a wonderful bike…! I traded her in for a brand new 2013 Ultra Limited! Comfortable, quiet (maybe a bit too quiet), smooth, elegant, beautiful! I have not done to much to her, yet! So far highway pegs and state/USA flags.
I”ve had her just 7 weeks now and have my 5k service next week… I don’t plan on slowing down anytime soon! lol I’d like very much to try the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge either in 2014 or 2015.
