First time Harley owner, I just picked up my Twisted Cherry 2018 Heritage Classic last night. No pics yet, it was dark by the time I picked it up and today it's raining.
My last bike was an 1100cc Honda Shadow Ace Tourer that I was fortunate enough to put 40K miles on without mishap. I sold it last spring, thinking I was done riding at 57. But the new bike popped up on CL and I couldn't resist. It was a 2018 model with only 9 miles (won in a raffle) and the asking price was $17.5k. It was still chilly around these parts so it was listed for a while. Last week I asked his bottom line and he said 16k. This morning it is in my driveway.
While I was waiting for a day off to go get it, I found a brand new stage III kit on ebay for $800 and a Ventilator breather for $95. All I need is the street tuner. I'm going to play with the stock exhaust a bit myself. My plan was to have my local dealership do the install for the stage III so I can maintain the warrantee. I've never had a bike with a warrantee before!
But my plan was almost spoiled last night on the ride home. I'd never test driven the bike, or any really big twin before, and had no idea how much power and torque this thing has. I can't believe this is not enough for some people! Holy cow, it felt like I was riding a rodeo bull. At 50mph in 6th gear I twisted the throttle and whizzed by 5 cars and was doing 80 before I could exhale. Now I'm more than a little concerned with what I will be dealing with after the stage III kit. Oy.
Anyway, nice to be here. I'll have to go through the rest of this thread and see what y'all are adding to your rides.
