Default First Timer from SoCal

Sending a wave from SoCal.

Just picked up a new Dyna FXDB at the end of last year and have visited the forum a few times for information.

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

Newbie alert:

I needed your help a few days ago. I have the stock wire wheels and got a nail in the tire so I plugged the tire and it was still leaking air. After a trip to the dealer I found out there was a tube and the dealer told me I ruined the tire with the plug.

Learning experience and that was a damn expensive *** nail. There goes a weeks worth work on a tire, but glad to be back on the bike this weekend.
