Default Hello all

I've been wanting a Harley for about 28 years now. Never got to own one until now. Either I didn't have the money or I was always putting family and home first. I got to a point where I realized I'll never have one if I keep postponing it. So I finally got myself one 4 days ago.

I bought a 2005 dyna superglide. Got it from a dealer auction up in Richmond Va. Got the bike very cheap. Love the bike. Rides so nice. I've been walking around with a big grin since I've gotten it.

Here's a pic. Whoever owned it prior put a lot of Harley aftermarket oem chrome parts on it. He was also smart enough to put a crash bar on it cause he dropped it and that is what saved the entire bike. The only damage done was the front fender, windshield and the crash bar. I've already bought another crash bar and fender off of ebay. Waiting on it to come in.
