Default New guy

hey, im new to this site. I just bought my first bike ever! (of course it had to be a harley) I decided to start with a 2005 sporty 1200C. It arrived at the dealer today, but i probably cant pick it up till Fri or Mon, because of all the extra's i added. screamin eagle exhaust, rejet the carb, air filter, chrome front end, swing arm, guards.........oh well enough of that. I've seen alot of great stuff on here and just wanted to introduce myself. Sorry this is long but im to excited to stop typing, i guess the good thing is i live in FL and can ride all year long. Talk to yall later

Florida?? I live in the middle of nowhere, it is currently 12 degrees.


Don't worry you will enjoy your new bike once you start riding it, I just hope that you didn't do like I did and get a black bike. It only stays clean for about a minute then a bug 25 miles away will sneeze and it will show up on your bike.

If you ride them, they never stay clean. BTW, welcome and congrats on your purchase.
