Since I was a little kid, I've always loved Harley-Davidson Motorcycles. I've wanted one since then. The first time I went shopping for one, I was 18 years old. That was 23 years ago. Since then, I have shopped for one and been extremely close to making a purchase countless times. Well, the time finally came. I got my truck paid off and am just about to finish up my Ranger in a few months. I got the nod from the spousal unit to start shopping. I already had a pretty good idea of what I was after, so it didn't take long to start getting serious about a purchase. I just couldn't be more happy about this bike. Of course, there are things I will do to "make it mine." But, I love this bike. She been named "Candy" because I keep grinning like a kid in a candy store every time I look at her or hear her run. I installed a stage one kit and tune on day one. She's a lightly used 2017 Street Glide. The color is called Superior Blue. The slip-ons I chose are the Rinehart 4.5" and man do they sound great! Oh, and that new Milwaukee Eight engine is a beast!

Well Buddy....YOU are screwed now!! Sold my last Road King 5 years past due to health issues BUT, I had more adventures with my HD'S over the years that I still hide my scrap book of pics from my wife, kids & grandkids..."My son's still mention time to time to see the Sturgis pics....adult rated, lol!
In my younger years I had everything from Road Glides, Road Kings, Ultra's, and loved them all. Now you are going to get that urge for Sturgis, Daytona, Red Run, 4 corner's and the list goes on and on.
HD is a "brotherhood" that is very unique for those of us with adventure in our soul! Won't be long until you get those Harley Wings Tat on your shoulder??
Just remember....WHY you want to ride....for me, it was seeing the sky on 2 wheels and the freedom it provided my soul.
MAKE IT LOUD (Stage 1 Air and take the baffles out)....LOUD save's lives and besides....nothing better than hearing that roar when you ride? But, your gas mileage will suffer...can't resist hitting the throttle at a light or stop sign!!
Some of the best times of my life have been on the road with my HD'S, so enjoy, have fun and be safe....CONGRATS....I'm a "little jealous" but it Is what it Is! I always had mine with a "skull theme" and of course...HD stand's for $100 so save your bucks for the upgrades you will ultimately spend.... "Yo Soy El Oso Grande."
