Hello,

Just wanted to introduce myself to the forums. I have been lurking around here for a while and found some great information which led me to take and pass the MSF course in early October - I can say this was the best thing I ever did since I had not rode before taking the course. For anyone contemplating taking the course - even as a refresher, I would highly recommend it.

I made the plunge into the Harley world 3 weeks ago - I purchased a new 2008 1200N which I had for a nice deal and have been busy with getting accessories ever since.

I look forward to learning more and getting advice and hopefully in turn offering any I have here. Oh, btw, in case any of you are wondering the name signifies that I was born in the UK - lived there for 20 years before coming here to live in the United States.

I will attempt to attach a couple of pictures of the bike - sorry for the poor quality - I hope to get some better ones if the weather improves.
