Default Im new

Hey guys, just registered and thought Id let you know a little about me on this side seeing as this will probably be the only one I visit(sportster). Im 36 and a full time State Trooper(10 years). Im going to be buying an 07 883L in the next month. Im new to the riding bit. Ive wanted a HD for several years and decided now was the right time. You wont hear from me much as I mainly stay in the "background" and search/read old posts to gain knowledge. I may be posting a little at first until I get my feet wet with the way yall handle business. One thing Ive seen from reading(the sportster section) over the last several days is that yall dont trash or talk smack about each other. That is very refreshing to see from a forum. Hope I dont bug yall to much with some stupid questions that I may ask. I will say this though. I will always do a search before I ask. Most topics have probably already been discussed and the answers already here.
