Default Stop Me if You've Heard This Before...

Rode bikes all my life until a crash 15 years ago that totaled my Yamaha FZR1000. Never had a Harley, though.

I've managed to fight the bike fever I'd still get every spring until this year. After much research I had decided on something from the BMW R1200 series. We did a little haggling at the BMW place, then all I had to do was show up at the dealer the following week, sign the papers, and ride away.

The day before I was to take delivery of the Beemer I was heading to a sporting goods store when I drove by the local Harley dealership. On a whim, I stopped in and in less than five minutes I filling out a credit app on an '09 FXDB in denim black.

Something about this bike just called to me. It was overwhelming. All logic went flying out the window that morning and I ended up buying the bike for it's looks alone.

In the two weeks that I've now had this Street Bob I have enjoyed every mile I've put on it. I'm officially a convert - this despite the fact that customizing this thing is going to be hideously expensive.

Anyway, that's my story. I'm Bill...pleased to meet ya.

Welcome Bill,

And don't rush you have plenty of time to burn all your money on customizing your new scoot. Just like the rest of us!

Welcome. And no I've never ever heard of that happening. How does one turn down a Beemer for a Harley?
