Dutch newbie

Hi everyone

Would like to do a bit of introducing, I'm living in the Netherlands and began riding at the age of 18 and started out with a couple of Jap bikes, then I switched to Moto Guzzi and have been riding a couple of California's for almost 20 years. The attraction to HD has been there all of my life but I never seem to get enough money to buy one but last May my wife told me to follow my dream, take the savings and get one, well before she could finish her sentence I already was at the Harley dealer and found a 35th anniversary super glide with 600 mls on it, took a test ride and offcourse the bike ended up in my garage. When my buddy saw the bike he needed not much convincing to sell his 92 EVO and got himself a brand new Super Glide and we have been making daytrips all summer long and I had the time of my life, I don't know if this will be my last bike but I know one thing for sure and that is that HD will be the bike I will finish my carreer on.

Welcome from Alberta, Canada, Scoob. Ain't nothing like riding an HD - interested on how your fellow country men view your bike and how others in various EU countries you travel from time to time view you as well. My info is the EU is normally a sport bike, Jap bike friendly environment.
