Hello everyone,
After lurking on this board for the past month or so, I've made the plunge and am now a CVO owner. I've just purchased an '07 Springer. Now for the ice to clear off of the driveway so that I can hit the streets!
So what does one say in an intro? I live in the western 'burbs of Chicago. I started riding motorcycles when I was 8 years old. My first bike was a hand built mini-bike with a 4hp Briggs and Stratton engine! There was no suspension on that bike....does that make me the youngest hard-tail owner/rider on record?? Through the years I have rode and owned more bikes than I care to count of both the on and off rode variety.
My new Springer is now sitting alongside my customized '02 Road King Classic. I love my Road King for those long rides (rode from Chicago to Sturgis once in 14 hours!) but I have wanted a "smaller" bike for the shorter hops. I've always thought that the Springer was a gorgeous bike....but the CVO Springer, in my opinion, kicks the bike into the stratosphere. Even my wife, who has become somewhat jaded with my mechanical tinkerings, thinks the bike is awesome. The Road King stays, and the Springer will get used between me and my wife (she rides too).
By the way, this board rocks! Attached is a photo of my Road King. I'll get a picture of my Springer posted soon after the weather breaks.
