Very nice, great looking cycle, congrats!

Now that's what I call a great recovery ride.

I'd like to see you pick that puppy up and hang it up from a hook in the garage ceiling.

I've always thought that HD had an absolutely magical marketing scheme.

Don't like them when they buzz me on rural roads with the deafening exhaust roar.

Lets see now,
1. Flip the stem and slam it down
2. No garage door in the picture.

Otherwise that hog is one sweet looking scoot. Nice score.

Nice ride!
BUT-cycle wheels, motor or bi, should have spokes. It's just more classic looking.

I was looking at Harley's last week with my son. They had a dresser there that listed for $37,400. I got home and hugged my Look. Great looking ride, have fun.

Remember after your real first official ride on the bike, celebrate with pie.

Too late. It already has a Thunder Header on it.

Nice ride. I'm still amazed at how easy these big machines ride and handle.

Like I always say...."and they say my dirt bike is loud". It's actually very quiet. Somehow a Harley is "supposed" to be loud and a dirt bike isn't. I find anything loud is annoying no matter what the general public finds "acceptable". Hope you have good ear protection and the people around you do too.

bigbadwulf: Actually the Thunder Header is pretty quite for a performance pipe. I can't stand straight pipes on any bike, not to mention the performance loose when a person runs them. The TH has a pretty nice low rumble that doesn't shriek like straight pipes do. Of course it's not as quite as stock mufflers but it far from loud.

Enjoy but be very careful. I've lost more friends riding those than bicycles.
