First of all dude, thanks for you service, that awesome man.

Second dont listen to that bs, ride what you want.

Although I just want to add, unless you have ridden a few bikes and made up your mind, maybe try a few now before you do, you said you plan to do a ton of mods, well thats cool alot of us do, but you want to make sure you arent going to outgrow your bike in 6 months to a year and have dumped a ton of mods into her.

You wont get it back out if you have to sell.
But if you researched and decided thats the bike for you, then more power to you bro, I hope you get it and enjoy it, be safe on the road and ignore that racist BS.

I dont see a lot of black guys on Harleys around here but every once in a while you do and it is refreshing, riders are riders dont matter where you are from or the color of your skin or anything else, its all about the ride.

Were you told it was not a good idea because you are black or because of your size? I several black friends that ride Harleys.

Personally, if you're on a motorcycle, you're a brother to me, no matter the color.

People are just ignorant sometimes. Whether it’s whites, blacks, or whatever telling you this it is just that, ignorant. You buy/ride what you want; you don’t have to answer to anyone. Anyhow, don’t worry about the idiots and enjoy the ride!

Doesn't matter to me what you ride or what color you are.
