My dad basically lost his mind living in the house that he had his wife with for so many years so he moved out like 6 months later after my mom had passed away. I have been by myself since beginning part of 2010 and keeping my head up and going to college. I originally bought a motorcycle because I needed to get out and away from the house as my dad did, but realized it was quite fun to go riding because it felt like freedom from everything so I was kinda hooked on motorcycles ever since then lol. Thought I should clear that up a little bit. I do still technically live at home, but it is just me and my girlfriend. I been a big boy for a while now . I am far from a snotty rich boy either... lol

anyways.. I don't plan on doing a whole lot with the bike right now, just going to do some studying up on the bike and what different mods I can do. One thing I have been looking into is some fairing pouches to put an ipod in for the stereo.. lol Also a better seat for long distances. I appreciate everyone in what they have said.
Props to you. No explanation needed for a jealous statement. Nice bike, you'll enjoy it and so will your lady. I'm a 24 y/o Street Glide owner myself.

Nice ride & welcome. I bought my 2010 Street Glide used as well at Fort Worth Harley. 4600 miles on it and they wanted $18300. I had them throw a 4 year extended warranty and rode home that very day. I traded a Yamaha 1300 V-Star Tourer starter bike that I only rode for 6 months before I knew I was ready for my first Harley. Got a great deal on the trade in... they offered $2900 more than I paid for it. Next is some Vance & Hines true Dual Headpipes and oval Slip ons sometime this year. I just have to decide between Power Duals Vs. Dresser Duals‎.

Let me just share with you what I thought when I read the title of your post.
"You're a lot smarter than 99.9% of the 23 year olds out there, I sure wished I'd been that wise at that age." Good choice.
