I found the forum a couple of weeks ago and registered. What a great site. Well, I'm 56 and on my first HD and the story of how I got there is different at best.
My teenage son had his Lic suspended for 90 days right before Christmas and my wife thought it would be great to get him a moped to go to school on so we got him one for Christmas. The day after we went to the motorcycle dealership to get helmet, etc and I asked the salesman if they had any small cruiser type bikes as I hadn't riden in quite a few years. I had been pestering my wife for quite awhile to get a bike and she alway was against it to the point of NO. We he showed me a Honda Rebel at about $3,600 and I asked if he ever got used ones in - well a 2001 was at the end of the line for $2,400. I sat on it and I think my wife saw the look on my face and we came home with it. I was happy with it for a few weeks and decided to go to the HD dealership just to "look". Took the wife back the next weekend and we signed the papers to purchase our new Dyna Low Rider.
I guess I have to thank my son for speeding and getting his lic suspended for my HD. The bike is a life long dream and with the weather I have been able to put some miles on it.
Thanks for listening to my story - lovin life with my new FXDL
