Hey guys I'm new to this group. I have an 06 Street
Glide. I've had different bikes but the SG is my favorite. It is
like the best of all the worlds. After riding a friends SG I was
like "Dude this is a sweet handleing bike". I new I wanted one.
Well, the story is:

7 years ago we adopted my son. Well, the money was tight and my Harley was paid for.
I kept it for a little while after he was home but more and more I missed him while riding.
Well, about a year later we needed a dependable car for the little bride and well, did I
mention money was tight? I sold the HD and bought her a car. Then
about 1 year later we adopted a sister for him. Well, I have missed
riding very much. My kids had been writing to Santa since like
August of 2006 telling him that daddy needs a new bike. I guess Mrs.
Claus was listening pretty good. I came home one day and there was a
letter on the table from Santa to the kids. It basically stated that
he had received a letter from them and their wish was granted. I was
like "what did you do?". She said "Nothing, Santa did it not me." I
went and opened the shop door and there was my "2006 Cobalt Blue
Street Glide. She knew exactly what I wanted on it.

Well, That's the story of how I got to get back on the saddle.
