Greetings. I'm a Motorcycle noob. Had a Garelli moped and a Yamaha QT50 as a child way to many years ago. Since then nothing but cages until this year when I decided to put the cart before the horse and get a Harley, and then took and passed the MSF class in March.
My first ride on my first ever motorcycle (a new to me '05 Harley Sportster 1200 Custom) was the 56.9 mile ride to take it home. I was lucky enough to find a heavily customized used bike where the previous owner and I shared the same aesthetic tastes, which also saved me the a lot of the co$t of having to do it myself.
Still have a small to do list for it, to make minor adjustments to my size and the way I need to use it.
Glad to be a part of this site and to learn from all of the posts.
