Default Hello there
Well after 20+ years, the bug has finally overcome me.


Next week I will be picking up a 2004 Sportster 883. This will be my first bike. I have some experience on dirt bikes, but that was ages ago. I'm taking the MSC mid June, and hope to be on the road soon. Right now I'm in the process of shopping for all the safety gear.
