RE: finally got mine

I didn't know about this one being the last year of the R !!! I REALLY like the looks of the "R"... So... Which color did you get ??? I would love an orange one...

Cool! [sm=smiley16.gif] Congratulations Dragonfly!
I just got my fourth motorcycle, but my first Harley, on Friday. I'll bet you're happier than a puppy with a bone like I am! [sm=drooldude.gif]
Just be careful out there and keep your eyes open! Happy riding!

The problem with curves... you can't see around them... even ones you've been through a thousand times can surprise you...(stopped cars... debris... wet...) you just never know... treat them like you've never been through it before and you'll be ok...
Glad you're enjoying the ride...

id heard about sportys being top heavy and hard for a girl to hold up but thats not really the case. certainly is a lot easier than that fat boy i sat on. ive gotten the feel of it now. well im gonna go riding now. see ya

Interestingly, I noticed too that the shifter is shorter and easier for me on my 883 than compared to my husband's 1200.
Have fun, be safe and keep the shiney side up [sm=smiley20.gif]

Congrats DFG. Be sharp and stay smart out there. And remember....they aren't watching you so make sure your watching them.
Oh by the way....if you lower the bike with shorter shocks you'll love the way it handles.
I put on 10.5 inch shocks and it makes backing her up, standing and even rideinga whole lot better. Good luck and post a pic of the bike soon.
