Default ANOTHER NEWBIE!

I got my HD in April via a trade with my neighbor. My trade bait?......a 2000 Vulcan Classic w/56K miles. I traded the Kawasaki for his 79 XLS and 2K in cash. The Vulcan is a nice bike but let's face it. A Harley is a Harley......lol Who do you folks think got the better of that deal? The XLS needs about 2-3 months ofTLC but it fires and runs like it is. Hopefully by July it'll be on the road again. Methinks I'll have more fun with the HD anyway. Does anyone have any interesting factoids on my bike for me?
