Hello, first time posting here!

Just purchased my first motorcycle yesterday which was a blue '09 Sportster 1200 Custom with stage 1 ECU tune and straight pipes. I remember when I used to think my Mustang Cobra years ago was loud.

I've done about 60 miles total over the two days, but it was a lot of fun. Still need a lot of practice on all of the things I learned from the MSF course, but practice is everything!
