I'm sure many of you will be so f'in what? What I just recently got my first Harley, a 2004 Sportster 1200R with a few extras. I hadnt ridden in at least 7-8 years so it took me a bit to get comfortable on the bike and around cars again. I just did my first "commute" ride to work! It is about 45 miles round trip, but I took a longer route and made it into 54 miles! I evenb got on the highway for the first time too. It really makes you appreciate the level of stupidity on the part of those yahoos on their phones driving their cars. Its just to bad that we are about a month away from snow because I'm really enjoying riding!
Grats man and welcome back to riding, definately watch out for the cell phone freaks they have no idea whats going on outside their conversation. They are on autopilot.
I would never say that. I would say something more like "Big F'in Deal." [sm=joke.gif] I think it great that your back on 2 wheels. Ride while you still can and use the winter downtime to get familiar with the bike and maybe do some mods for your next riding season. Be safe and keep your eyes on all cagers.
