Talking Got my first Bike!
My name is Allen and I'm in Denver CO. I have always wanted a bike since I was a little kid, life kinda got in the way with kids and all that but here I am just a few months from my fortieth birthday and my wife gives me the one of the best valentines day gifts I've ever received! A 1994 XLH 883 Deluxe sportster! It is not stock and I am looking forward to making her all mine!
I have my safety course in two weeks and another trip to the DMV, I will be riding as often as I can!

Congrats on the V gift, that was really nice of her, pay close attention to the lessons and find an experienced rider to ride with, they will tell you what you may be doing wrong, better to form good habits right out of the gate.
