Default My First Six Miles!

I came home to a 2008 Sportster parked in my garage with a blue ribbon on it Tuesday. My wife wanted to surprise me. I'd never ridden a motorcycle EVER, to be honest the first time I got on it, I&nbsp\\;was a little scared. When I let off the clutch and put my feeet in the pegs last night-so friggin' cool. Today felt A LOT more comfortable. Practiced turning stopping and shifting-I'm GONNA LIKE THIS!

Congratulations.
&nbsp\\;
Be sure and take the Motorcycle Safety Foundation New Rider Course or the Rider's Edge Course. You'll be glad you did. You'll learn some important information that will make you a safer rider and you will enjoy it even more.
&nbsp\\;
Have fun and be safe.
