Hi, I'm new here, love reading all of the post I finally got a Harley 04 883 Sportster, after five years of riding a Honda Shadow Sabre (great bike by the way). I live in St. Louis, Missouri around the St. Louis Hills area.

Anyone want to ride? We can meet up on a Saturday and take it from there.
Pics soon.
Jim.

did you keep that sabre? those are sweet machines. i had a vf many years ago. loved the motor but hated the chassis. the sabre was supposed to be a far better machine.
