Got it the... Sportster

I FINALLY got it after months of talking and blogging about it and years of hard work to get enough money for it I finally got my motorcycle. And not just some foreign Japanese wanna- be cruiser bike, but one of the legendary Harley- Davidson’s. Last Friday my dad and I went to the Metro Harley Davidson dealership and finalized the deal on the Sportster that I had been looking at for a while now. We bought some headgear for safety, some accessories (which I will mention in a minute) and the bike itself. The Sportster that we decided on getting was a brand new 2009 Sportster XL Custom 1200 and the color was black with a silver piece of chrome riding on top of the gas tank. Needless to say I’ve been riding that bike every spare moment that I can get on it. Besides the bike I decided it necessary that we spruce the Sportster up with some customizing of our own, which included some after- market exhausts (Rush pipes) and a detachable backrest. I’ve heard the Rush pipes on the same bike that I have and there is only one word that can define them… LOUD! This also turns as a safety feature as well though as others on the road are more likely to hear you if they can’t see you and so I hopefully won’t be crushed by some oblivious driver in a car or truck. I’m not sure on my feelings about the backrest, something that my dad insisted we get, but I think it will make it look more like a motorcycle. Besides, it is detachable if I ever come to not liking it on the Sportster, and I think it will make the ride much more comfortable for any passengers. I’m putting all these things on this Friday, and will hopefully have the bike back after my dad and I take our trip to Omaha, Nebraska for the Berkshire Hathaway Meeting.
