I've been looking around the forums for a couple weeks now and I decided it was about time I introduced myself.&nbsp\\; My name is Adam, I'm 31 yrs old and I recently purchased my first Harley....a 2006 XL 883L.&nbsp\\; I got a great deal and the bike and it only had 15 miles on it.&nbsp\\; All I can say so far is...DAMN, wish I had done this ages ago!!&nbsp\\; I am loving every minute of it.&nbsp\\; Its by far the most fun I've had in years.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
I really enjoy the forums here.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; You all provide so great information and always seem willing to answer questions when you can.&nbsp\\; Being new to Harley's, and relatively inexperienced with motorcycles in general, this place has provided with me a wealth of info so far.
&nbsp\\;
I look forward to many miles on the open road and hopefully to make some new friends along the way.
&nbsp\\;
Here's a couple pics of my bike.

Congrats and welcome from No. Va. How come it only has 15 miles? (aside from the obvious it hasn't been ridden).

The bike belonged to a friend of mine.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; She bought it brand new, had it delivered to her house, and then decided it was too big for her.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Instead of trading it in, she just parked it in her garage and went out and bought a Buell Blast.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Worked out well for me.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Picked it up for only $5000.
