My youngest daughter got her first street ride in August 1998 on the 650 twin.

It was only a 2 mile ride to the local Harley dealer to check out the new Twincam 88, she enjoyed the ride enough to want to ride home as soon as we got there.

Riding the 650 is fun

My friend Greg L. (left) was all smiles while riding the twin and so was Ron W. (right)

They have both passed away and I am glad they got some saddle time on the twin.
