Me & My girl !!!

I'm a new rider and must've sat on 100's of bikes before buying one. In April my boyfriend took me to one of the local Harley dealerships to "look" at bikes....an hour or two went buy and none of the bikes seemed to "feel right" so we started to walk out the front door. There was a lady sewing patches on customers vests and my boyfriend said "why don't you get a patch sewn on your jacket?" So back into the store we walked to find a patch...some would call it "timing", I call it "Faith"....for that moment when I was waiting for my patch to be sewn on, in thru the front door came a 2006 Sportster 1200L, Blk.Cherry w/grey & black paint scheme, black leather saddle bags & mag wheels. I wandered on over and sat on "her" and could hardly contain my excitement!!! I flagged down my boyfriend from across the store, because I was not gettin off of her for fear that someone else would be interested and that's when I yelled "I found the one" !!! 30 minutes or so later I was the proud owner of "Sonny" (that's what I named her) and It's been love ever since. I'm tall, 5'10" to be exact and people tried to talk me into several other makes & models but I knew the minute I sat on "Sonny" that we were going to be best friends !!!!
