hell yeah! I drove 150 miles to look at my sporty. Seller was having it serviced at a dealership. I drove it from the dealer to his house for the "test ride". Couple of miles of road and then a sh_tty 2 mile dirt road. Man that was a blast & I had to learn quick! Scared the crap out of the seller. Brought it home. My 87 1100..see sig...

 

Back in the early 70s a friend had a black dirt bike type Harley I think it was like a 50cc 2-stroke but what was very different is the 3-speed shifter was on the right hand grip. The first Harley I rode on the street was a 1956 chopped kept that bike for almost 4 years worked on it more than rode but it was mine and when I rode it was a great feeling, still get it now almost 35 years later.

 

For me it was an 84 or 85 softail std. A very stable ride, especially after bein used to ridin a GS750E Suzuki.

 

First Harley I rode was a 1975 FXE Super glide in 1988!
First Harley I owned was a 1985 XLX-61 Sportster in 1990!

 

Almost 40 years First Harley ever Bought and Rode as well ( 1969 XLCH ) although rode many before this purchase including my Dads 1950 Indian Chief but Loved this sportster and most of my life never been without a Sportster although the FLHT is my main ride..

 

My first was a 64 XLCH. The guy had the mag in 180 off and had the idle way fast to keep it running. Pretty scary since the fastest thing I rode prior was a YZ 80

 

the one in my sig when i bought it last march 09'. colder that sheit that day i rode her home as well,lol. cant stand not to be on her now,lol

 

My cousins 2001 Road King! I rode that bike about 20 miles and when I got back to the family picnic we were attending I told the wife right then and there that we are getting a Harley touring bike. I hadn't ridden a steet bike in about tens years at that point, but man did it feel good.

 

2008 Street Bob

 

First Harley I ever rode was a Sportster chopper with a kicked out springer front end.
Can't remember what year engine (68 or 69) it had in it but I damn near killed myself on the blessed thing.
Sure wish I had it now.
