My dad rode a Harley - 1976 Electra Glide. He still rides that bike too! So, I always dreamed of riding a harley. When I turned 16 he bought me a 1970 something Kawasaki 185 Enduro. I rode that bike all over our rural Michigan town. I didn't realize my dream of a Harley until my husband bought me one at the ripe age of 43. Bless his heart!:bigsmiley9:

It wasn't THIS bike, but one exactly like it!!

I have had a LOT of bikes since then, but ya know what guys? I still remember the EXCITEMENT of riding that bike like it was yesterday, and not many motorcycles after that equaled the THRILL of that "first bike"!

Only had one bike growing up, my Dad surprised me with a honda XR200 dirt bike when I was 13. He used to take me and my little bro riding through the wilderness around the edges of the county: deserts, mountains, wherever. We eventually had to sell the bikes when I was about 17 or so.

Bout a year ago, my little bro went out and bought himself an XR200 just like the one I used to ride. I had a chance to ride it for a bit when I visited home at Christmas time a year ago. Within minutes, I had the fever all over again, felt just as thrilling as the first time I got in the saddle. I knew right then that I would go out and buy myself a bike when I got back to GA, and what better place to start looking than your local Harley dealership?????
