So, what do I think of this Bike ???

When I was younger, just the same as most of my friends, I would rather walked than own a Harley or a BMW.
 
Now I have a Harley. What a bike. Yes, it's very different to the Italian and Japanese bikes I've owned but it has exceeded my every expectation. It's just such a fun bike to ride.
 
 
Bike Details
It started life as a 2002 Harley Davision Sportster 883 XLH
