New member, buying first HD in Iraq
« on: August 14, 2009, 03:41:50 PM »
Hello all from Mosul, Iraq.  I'm getting ready to buy my 1st HD from Exchange New Car Sales which is a program where deployed soldiers can buy vehicles and get a pretty good deal.  My pop owns a 2007 CVO Road King.  He had many bikes before that and changed just about everything on them till he picked up that one.  I've been watching the Street
Glides for a couple years and after riding a rental SG for about 3000k through Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and Wyoming during a trip with my dad and 3 of my brothers (last hoorah before the trip across the pond) decided I would have to have one waiting when I got home.  I really like the CVO's, who wouldn't, but they never had a SESG before and I didn't think I could ever afford one.  Well guess what, now they do, and my wife said as long as I come back she said get what you want but don't spend more than we did on our car.  Frigin close on the numbers, but what is she going to do, kill me?  So I'm waiting to hear back from the Harley salesman, they have to wait a little longer to negotiate the prices for us vets, but he said they should be available in September.  In the meantime I've got a few months to commit fully and figure out where to ride it after I get back to the world and how to make it more custom than when I got it.

Sappers Lead the Way!

If the picture actually shows, that's Zion National Park.  Pop in the middle and I'm the one showing my @ss.

Thank you for your warm welcome.  I can see from having read so many posts already that there is a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience among the members here.  I look forward to picking the brains here and preventing so many trial and error projects that I'm sure plagued us all before forums like this were around.  I think I'm more of a watcher, listener than a speaker, but I have to get some posts in even if it's just to get rid of my Newbie status.  BTW it's actually Diamondback 6, Sapper 6 was taken as a call sign, but not as a username.  I wonder if I can get SAPPER on my plates, I'll have to check the other threads first, I know my father in law had SHOOTER or SHOOTR or something close before.
