Meet Delilah

    I got my first bike in the spring of 2009. She's a Harley Davidson XL 1200 Low, also called a Sportster.

    I named her Delilah after the character in the Bible, because she's sexy and she'll seduce you if you aren't careful.

    I chose this particular bike for a couple reasons.

    1.) She fit me. I'm 5'3", 130lbs, so most of the bikes I tried out I could barely touch the ground, they were too wide and I had to lean forward to reach the handle bars.

    2.) I went for a 1200 because I knew I wanted power, but as a brand new rider I wasn't ready for a full sized Harley Davidson. I passed on the Sportster 883 purely out of pride, haha. I didn't want to be riding the smallest bike HD made. (As it turns out, pride does go before the fall. One of the first times I took her for a ride, I laid her down at a stop light because I underestimated the about of power I had under me.)

    3.) I got her pre-owned, in almost brand new condition, with only 1225 miles, which saved me money and was more environmentally responsible.
