Default after 25 years my first ride after the msf class...plus Video

well i put almost 125 miles on the 02 fxdxt "1400 original miles" previous experience was the msf class and one time ride on a dirt bike when i was 16 for a weekend and few 3-wheelers and 4-wheelers that friends had... then i lost my license for a very long, long time .... recently got them back 4 years ago "almost 42 now" decided i wanted to ride.... still have things to work on but i was in congested traffic in raleigh nc " for a few miles" then hit some back country roads in youngsville nc.... what a blast... my better half was following me though..ha, she has video i might post ... this week i need to check tires real well and make sure the shocks and forks are pre-loaded right, the fxdxt has the adjustments and i wanna make them right for me... 6'4" and around 260 lbs and find the mids very comfortable for me...

quick video second time out today after the capitol blvd puckering

after the 4min mark she gets a bit excited.. going into third i got the back tire a bit loose and she got nervous..

Congrats on the bike and the MSF class.

Cute video. Sweet little southern accent. Did you really have trouble with the back tire?

Have fun, Mark H.
