There is something about being the "First and Only Owner" of your ride. I owned new metric bikes, but my first HD was used. Please do not take this wrong as it is in no way intended to be contentious, but I always wanted to be the first owner of my HD. I wanted to be the one to break it in. The only owner of every mile on it. The one that was with it from the beginning. Now that I have done it, I feel more like it is my bike. Like it is only mine. Anyone else understand this? Maybe it is just me, but it means a lot to me. :rider
