Hi,
I have been in recovery for nearly 3 years now and I think that the time has come (well in the spring) to finally look at purchasing something that has been out of my league for nearly 22 years and that would be a Harley
My father had a Harley he purchased new back in 1964 shortly after the purchase he was killed while working on his car. What I've been able to find out is that it only had a few thousand miles on it and my mother had to sell it to make ends meet(sure would be cool to find out whatever happened to that bike). I was four years old at the time and I always said that I was going to have a bike someday and as I got older the thought of ever owning one kept getting to be more and more of a fantasy as the years passed and I kept looking for all the answers at the bottom of a glass. I went thru treatment 5 times then in April 2000 I finally saw the light and realized that I could actually survive without alcohol and drugs. I don't want to dwell on this part of my life, unfortunately from about age 18 to 40 that was my life But I'm doing ok now and I want to get a bike so I thought I would sign up here and see what’s up I don't even know what kind of bike I want yet but I like the 2002 Soft tail, looks really sharp. I want a sport bike as opposed to a cruiser and my wife wants to get a Sportster herself so, hey I can't disagree with her on that one . I do have one question though; what makes a deuce? I see them around for sale but I don't know what it represents, common sense tells me it has something to do with the number 2 but what, dual exhaust, dual carbs, twice as much fun to ride, what??? Thanks for reading
