Default Lost job never thought I would own another HD
Lost my job in 2014. Had to sell my HD ride. Things did not look good for a while. Unemployed for a long time.
It humbled me. I needed it. Looked like never again I would be able to own a Harley.

I am back on my feet today. Also a more compassionate person. Just got a sweet 2018 street glide. Thank you Lord.
Good to be back in the Harley family.
