I'm new to the motorcycle world. Always been more of a custom car guy. Recently been dreaming of having an Iron883....

Here's the story of how I got one...
Harley sportsters really caught my eye. Love the simple clean look of the 883's, and plenty of power. Irons being the most bad-*** IMO. Guess I've been filling my wifes ear with Iron this, and Iron that. She knew it was my dream bike.

I've already got a couple toys so I didn't even push for the Iron. We found a nice clean '05 883 with low miles. She "set it all up" for me to go check it out after the new year.

Christmas Eve morning she called to me with urgency in her voice. She said theirs a truck backing down our driveway...go find out whats going on!

Long story short... She went to the Harley Dealer and had my dream Iron883 delivered. To say I'm lucky,blessed, I feel is an understatement. Lucky883 get it?

Anyways, I'm happy to be here and look forward to the ride!


My new baby, being delivered.


Welcome from Oklahoma. Nice bike. BTW, being from Chicago, do you have body armor?.....

Nah. Just gotta know what areas to avoid. 99 times out of 100 it's the same suspects in the same neighborhoods. I know where I don't belong. Although I do keep my 9 close
Chicago and its surrounding area can be beautiful, and not far away are some of the nicest roads to ride.
