I felt the same way when I took my bike from the dealers. OMG I am finally riding a Harley.

Congratulations!! My girlfriend also took the MSF class this weekend and passed. [sm=happybounce.gif] Great to see so many women riding their own these days. The 883 Low is a nice looking bike and a great choice for your first Harley. Consider putting an engine guard on it if you haven't already.

Welcome to the addiction!!! I remember the feeling after each MSF class. Felt great to get out of there and say "I did it!" but scared as hell every minute of class. Anyway, congrats and safe riding.

Yes a BIG congrats!!
My best friend I ride with, his wife just took the class and she got her new Deluxe about a month ago. It has been fun watching her enjoying riding her own bike plus now that's another bike in the group [8D]
