Hi all!
Been lurking for awhile figure I might as well get post #1 under my belt. My wife bought me a used 2000 XLH 1200 right Christmas.(of cousre I had to approve) It's my 3rd HD that I've owned. It's kinda of weird though.I also own a yamaha roadstar and it's a 2000. Before I bought the roadstar I was going to buy this exact bike,but the prices were really crazy here in RI,and I went with the roadstar,about 300.00 less exspensive. I have always loved sportsters, I live on an Island in RI (Aquidneck Island) and the sporty will be great during the summer tourist season. Once I take some pitcures I'll try to post them in that sportster photo shoot.Keep those pitcures going, I love to check out people's bikes.

Congrats on your first Harley....Now do your forum buds a favor and Clone that little gal of yours, then add her to the 2010 HD accessory catalog. I'm thinking many here will wanna trade up this year.

The bike the bike the bike (not the wife) no she's ok too. When I take the time to read how to post pitcures I'll post one. The only thing that I purchased for the bike was a set of pythun exhaust, oh and a manual.
However I do like the look of the springer front end on a sportster.
Away thanks for the welcome,
