    Hey Guys

    just bought my first hog smiley

    use to own Metric Cruisers just because the cost of a hog was well out of my budget...

    4 years ago i had a bad acco on my vt750 . got T boned by a driver pulling out my local RSL CLUB.. end result i lost my left foot in the accident it was still in my boot on the other side of the road... thankfully the doctors at wollongong hospital were able to re attach my foot to my leg but ive lost about 80% of feeling and movement in my left leg....

    so now im back and better then ever and decided to buy my first hog.... i went with a 2013 street bob dyna.. only had 7,000ks on the clock and with a stage 1 kit and lowered ass end... OMG i cant belive the power of harleys... so much Torque.. i have never ridden a bike with more then 800cc so this was a huge shock... still getting use to ridding and only ridden this bike twice to and from work approx 60ks.. if the weather is decent this weekend i plan to chuck a leg over and get some ks under my belt...

    Here is a pic of my rig..

    Welcome to the forum limpin, it's amazing what doctors can do these days compared to when I was a kid.
