Today,
I picked out and purchased my 24 y/o son's first Harley Davidson.  He's currently in Japan, and won't get a chance to meet her for another month.

I am very proud of him, I didn't even have to co-sign.   :teeth:  The guy sitting on the bike is my friend, know to my son as uncle Ron.

Your son is very lucky, nice looking SG.  Now, can you talk to my Dad for me?

I took this to mean "dad" was merely procuring it for the lad, not that it was a gift for him.

Mike, why ya letting the kid buy an old mans bike????  Ya should have talked him into a real mans bike--a Road Glide.  lol

Tell him thank you for his service, and congratulations on the new ride.  Gonna be cool when he gets home and you two can ride together.  Very cool, Mike.

Dad, I cant wait to come home and ride! Thanks again for finding that bike for me and taking care of all the paperwork for me. Love you PoP!

Your Son, Sean

Dennis, he was initially looking at a 48, and then a Dyna and then he came to his senses.  I never thought about a big ugly.   :wink:

I'm just happy he's not on a rice rocket.

Sean,
Glad you like it.  It's a sickness, I hope your prepared for it!  :teeth:

Glen,
Your correct- My son will be responsible for the entire note on the bike to include the 6K he put down.  I just made the deal, and was prepared to co-sign if I needed to, his credit was over 700 so he didn't need me for that.

What I did do was influence him and a lot of morale support  :wink:

Yeah, and then turned him on to HTT.  Hope you warned him about Preacher Son, War Horse and the rest of the Shed crew, dad.

Who the hell is the Shed Crew? never heard of em'

You're going to have to let your hair grow a couple years for that crowd, Sean!

Sean, congratulations on that new first Harley.  You will enjoy it. (Just joking about old mans bike-lol  )

Thank you for your service, and if you get out to Colorado, beers and dinner are on me.  Bring the old man with ya!

Glad your son is gonna be on a hog.  :up: I see quite a few young guys on strpped down baggers (SG's). Not an old man's bike, but a practical ride for the back roads or the long haul.

I ride a Deuce, if I were to go to a bagger it would be a Street Glide. Good looking bike!

Since he's gone you will have enough time to soup it up and fix all of the factory screwups.
Hey Sean, hopefully you will never know just how much of a slug they are when stock or you would want a refund.  :potstir:
