I am new to the forum and to CVO's. I live in North Pole, AK and bought my red 2012 FLSTSE3 last month with snow still on the ground. This my first harley and I'm stoked to be on the road. The temps have been in the low 30's F in the morning and 50 F in the afternoon. I've put on nearly 500 miles since the roads cleared and can't wait to ride her naked.(with-out the windsheild bags and back seat) I never intended for this to be my wife and I's first bike but she fell inlove when she saw it on the showroom floor. Of course I said "if that's the one you want we'll get it" I am trully blessed that she fell in love with a CVO and she loves riding with me. I've already surfed through some of the threads and believe I've come to the right place for info on upgrades, solving performance issues, and general good discussion about these special bikes.
