I've been riding mainly Yamahas for around 30 years, my favorite being my old Virago 1100. But when I decided recently to get back on 2 wheels I fell in love with a 2003 Softail Standard so I jumped into Harley world 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 local information.
