Default Its about time I Introduce Myself
I have been a long time lurker of this site, gathering info and helpful hints about which Harley I wanted to buy. Since all this info has paid off, I thought I should probably go ahead and start posting. A little about myself, I am a first time motorcycle owner and in turn, a first time Harley owner. I am 24 and still in school, but hope to be out shortly. I have always loved HD motorcycles and dreamed about one day owning one. So, I decided now or never. I took the MSF class this summer and ordered my scoot the Monday after the class. Labor Day weekend, I took possession of a 2006 Dyna SuperGlide. It was a little intimidating, but soon I felt as though I had been riding for awhile. However, I am at school in Nebraska and my scoot is sitting all alone at my home in Illinois calling my name. My bro is supposed to be bringing it out to me this week, so I can enjoy the rest of the riding season. Thanks again for all the helpful info, and I will post pics as soon as I can.....
