I've been riding mainly Yamahas for around 30 years, my favorite being my old Virago 1100. The reality is all of my Yammys wanted to be Harleys! So when I decided recently to get back on 2 wheels I fell in love with a 2003 Softail Standard so I jumped into HD with both feet!

Now only a Harley owner for a couple of weeks in January I'm learning why the dealership's chrome consultant joked "Buying the bike is only the downpayment!"

I started off by wanting to give the bike a service to make sure I'm getting off on the right foot. Then came the chrome! :-)

Long story short, my bargain $8,000 Softail has just absorbed 50% of it's value in my efforts to make it my own. Heck, I'm not complaining... it's been fun! But certainly eye-opening.

Anyway, thanks for a great forum. A real wealth of information.

Welcome to the forum from Music City USA!!

 

I _LOVE_ Nashville. Best fried chicken I ever had was at a restaurant where the dining experience was almost like a Sunday dinner with the family. Can't remember the name, but I'll sure look for it again if I'm in town!

Thanks for the welcome.
