New here, new to Harley's...
« on: February 23, 2017, 10:55:52 AM »

Hey guys, my name is Scott. I have been riding for over 40 years, but mostly Jap rockets. I bought an 04 Softail Standard back in October, mainly because it was a real good deal, and I wanted to find out if I liked it. I LOVE IT! My dream bike for about the last 5 years or so was the 08 CVO Springer Softail, so I started my pursuit...I wanted it SO bad....until I saw it. The orange looked great in all the pics I had seen, but was just too loud for me in person, and I hadn't realized they went down to an 18" front wheel. A friend said "find you an 07"....and went on to tell me about the Copper paint and 21" front wheel, so the search continued. I set myself a money limit, and went shopping. I found 4 bikes within reach, and commenced to going and visiting them. I settled on a sweet 07 out in Rutledge Ga. Made my top dollar offer(2000 less than asking price) and low and behold owner took it.
So, here I am. Looking for all the info I can find, and was sent here by a friend that HIGHLY recommended you guys. Now I'm an easy going guy, I'm 54 years old, and comfortable in my lifestyle but in no way rich. I have been fortunate enough to take a talent I have into a decent career, and love my job. I don't know what else to tell you, Oh yes, I have an above average sense of humor, and love to laugh(even at myself)....

Welcome to the board from San Diego.  That was a great introduction!

By the way....I've been told I have below average sense of humor and way twisted so don't take anything I say to seriously.  :2vrolijk_21:

Congratulations on finding your dream bike and,Welcome to the site from The Lowcountry of South Carolina!
Meeting the members and being able to put faces on the posters on this site is a real thing here with CVO Harley. We have GTG's, Get Togethers, a few times a year. This is a chance to rekindle old friendships and make new ones. We socialize, ride our bikes, eat really well, and even have a drink or two. These GTG's are found in The Events section of the forum. This year in June is The National Meet In The Middle GTG in Eureka Springs, AK.
See the attached links:

http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=105603.0
Join us in Eureka Springs in June and/or Maggie Valley in September.
Sure would be nice to meet you at one or both.
Mike
