New Harley

[knucklehead]

Well I couldn't stand it any more, went out and bought a new soft tail heritage classic today. I kept my C50 because I knew they wouldn't give me what I want to trade. My new HD is pearl white with gold pin stripe. I go tomorrow and pick it up. The thing is I made a deal with the wife I would quit smoking for the new bike, win win for me IMO. I hadn't had a HD in 30 years. It has to be a lot better than the old v-twin I had back in the 70's.

I looked at the New heritage the other day. Rae rode it as a demo...Coming from a Victory fan....I am very impressed with the HD.
Good luck

Enjoy the new bike! The Heritage has been a solid seller for Harley for over 20 years now, so you made a good choice. There have been plenty of updates over the years, and the new ones are much improved over the 2006s, let alone the v-twins from the 70s.

Congrats on your new HD and quiting smoking. I popped in here to browse for HD's service costs. Do you know what is included in the first couple of services and how much would you have to pay?

Also I heard that HDs' new transmissions are very smooth. Curious about how it compares to our C50's transmission.

Looking forward to seeing the photos.

P.S. My wife promised to buy me a Street Bob when I turn 50. She sort of implied last weekend she would buy it when I finish the grad school. That's fair as I didn't get anything when I quit smoking 12 years ago.

congrats on the harley?does that mean your not going to wave to anyone now? oh and

[Rae]

LOL! That's funny. I'll still wave when I get my Deluxe. I'm going to look like a damn queen on a float in a parade, waving at everyone. I'm going to be happier than a pig in you know what. I can't wait to get mine!

You should throw candy at children too!




...but throw it real hard so they really feel it!

[Rae]

Yeah,yeah, and I'll nail them right between the eyes! "Here's your free candy you little (bleeps)!" Hee,hee.

I think I have been a Harley rider at heart for a while, I just haven't been able to afford one till now.

[Elvis]

does that mean your not going to wave to anyone now?

Surprise! 2 HD riders waived at me yesterday and one of them was a woman, I think.

I thought only Canadian HD riders wouldn't acknowledge metric bike riders, is it similar in the States?

[knucklehead]

First service is about 300, but I talked them into giving it to me for free. Some harley dealers include it with the the purchase of a new HD. Doesn't shift as smooth as my C50, but I didn't expect it to. Love the 6th gear, shift into it about 60 mph and smooth sailing. When I learn how to transfer the pics. I'll post them. Still have to install the hwy bars (coming thurs.) and my hwy boards. I will still wave, I don't care what you ride as long as your happy with what your riding that's what matters.

Oh yeah Elvis, it is really bad here. It is almost like they ride by with their noses in the air. It's funny!
