    Hi everyone, I'm a new member and first time poster. I have been following the forum a bit over the past 12 months while I have been tossing around the idea of buying a Harley. I rode my first Harley, a Fat Boy Lo hire bike while on Holiday in the Gold Coast riding two up with the missus at the start of the year and we both loved it. The cruising feeling, the character of the bike, the sound! it was all so different to the dirtbikes we are used to. Then I started looking into new bikes and test rode a Breakout. I was stoked with it.

    Took about another six months before I was ready but two weeks ago I put a deposit on a new 2015 Breakout and hopefully take delivery late next week. Got it in black with the black Vance and Hines Big Radius 2 into 2, black heavy duty filter and pro tuner.... maybe a fairly common accessory list but I think it will be nice.

    The forums have been a good help so far and I'm sure I will get loads more help from you guys so thanks in advance.

    Yes, the Mystic Red is a great color in the sunlight. I have a Sportster Low in it and the below picture doesn't do it justice.

    Looks good WYKKD and the number plate is... well... WYKKD haha... Think I'll get some personalised plates when the wallet recovers a bit from the purchase.

    So I finally got back to post a pic after picking the bike up 9days ago. Loving the bike, have 1450km on it already including a trip down to Phillip Island for the GP on the weekend. The missus CB250 is in the background.
