The Heritage 12-29-08

On the last post, I had put a stock picture of the Harley that I will be getting in 09 and said I would take pictures of it on the showroom floor next time I was down at Red River Harley Davidson. (http://redriverharley-davidson.com/Default.asp). So, since I had a list of "honey do's" to take care of today, I dropped by the Harley shop, gave some paperwork to Greg ( he runs the Rider's Edge Program there) and I took the pictures of the bike on the showroom floor. Scroll down and see my next Harley and REMEMBER: IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PICTURE BIGGER, JUST CLICK ON THE PICTURE.





As I got ready to take pics of the bike, I noticed that Christina has been elevated to a position with her own office..Way to go, Christina!!!

Here is my next bike, an 09 Harley Heritage Softail Classic. If this one is still there, then this is the one. If not, I will order one just like it..

From the front. I already have my Harley cap courtesy of Russ, Harley T-shirt courtesy Red River Harley Davidson, my first Harley pins courtesy of Russ & Bill (in Tucson Arizona) and the urge to travel courtesy of my love for bikes and the open highways. I bought a Kawasaki Vulcan in Jan 08 and have put 17,538 miles on it as of today. I can't wait to put the miles on the Harley.

The tank and speedometer....No tach.

Front from the right side.

As I was leaving, Kenny & his granddaughter arrived. Kenny's son is in Iraq again and when he comes home he is going to buy a Harley Crossbones. Kenny was going to put his daughter on a Crossbones , take a picture of her and send the picture to his son. His son was supposed to have been discharged last April but due to the Stop-Loss Program the military has now, they extended his enlistment and sent him back to Irag for another 19 months. Yep, I said 19 months. That has got to suck. But we are proud of him and all the military members of all branches that are serving in the cause of freedom. May God protect them all, grant them victory and bring them all home safely.

I asked Wesley, who just happened to be in the parking lot, to take this picture. From left to right: Greg, Russ, me and Kenny. We are all former coworkers, and now we are all ride together and are members of the Blue Knights TX XX. (http://www.blueknightstxxx.org/). Russ, Kenny and I are also members of the PGR.

This is Wesley and his brother in law, Mike. Wesley just moved here from NW Arkansas. Welcome to Texas Wesley. We look forward to having you and Mike riding with us on some of our rides.

Last picture at Red River Harley Davidson was of Mike & Wesley. Thanks for taking the pic for us Wesley. This will conclude this post. I look forward to getting the Harley and returning to the sights and sounds that you can only experience on a Harley. Shoulda never left in the first place...
