if ya got a Sportster as a first bike ya done good. A lot of us did and still ride ‘em. Enjoy it. They’ll give a TC a run for their money off the line.

Oh hell yeah. You guys don't do that down under? It keeps the road gremlins from jumping on to your bike and hosing it up. If you get one as a gift it has twice the power of one you buy for yourself.

PM me your address. You'll never know what might show up in the mail. We had an Australian Assault Helicopter Company at my base in Viet Nam. Those guys kicked a$$ and didn't waste time taking names. I've got a ton of respect.
