Welcome and congrats on the Iron!
I got mine back in February and it was my first bike.

Feel free to join and post pics, chat, whatever.
I'll be installing new exhaust, intake, remap and forward controls this weekend.
Will post pics, it's gonna look and sound great.
I bought the black one too, I'm not a huge fan of chrome.

Nice! I have the black also, used to ride sportbikes but now that I have the Harley I realize again how much fun riding is without having to try & keep up with all the sportbikes out there. Don't get me wrong now, sportbikes are a blast, fast as heck, handle great but just cruising on a Harley is just a totally different ride. Oh yeah your friends just talk trash about your bike because they don't have one.

A sportster is a girl's bike? Like someone else here said in another thread, you're manuevering a 500-pound motorcycle, while trying to to watch out for those four-wheeled monsters out there that are out to get you. Have fun and be safe.

Friends on crotch rockets saying you ride a "girls bike"? Sounds like ***** envy to me. Congrats on buying a REAL bike and welcome to the fold!
