Default Newbie in Iraq

Hi everyone,
First time poster, long time Harley owner. I just ordered an 08 Fat boy as my gift to myself for being over here in Iraq for the last eight months. I'll be home in two more and can't wait to put some miles on it. When i'm not out and about over here I have been looking through catalogs and figuring out which mods i'm gonna do. It helps pass the time at least. I'm really impressed with the hdforums and wish i would have found it a few years back. Thanks

Pete

Hey Pete, man 2 months is gonna seem like two years especially when you've got an itch to ride! Thanks for the job you and the rest of the guys are doing for us. Our prayers are with all of you. Keep your head down and your powder dry Hoss. "See you in tha wind"
