Default 'nuther newbie

Hello folks!

Just picked up my new Night Train ('07) last week~ Not new to riding by any means~ Was raised by a 1%er and bottle fed Marvel Mystery Oil as a child~ I ended up growing a strong desire for speed and had owned a Hayabusa for the last few years~ I did enjoy that bike very much.. in fact the wife still has one... but at 43 I decided it was time to take it easy and went back to my HD roots~ I'm really enjoying this new ride and looking forward to getting the new exhaust system installed and have it dyno tuned~ Hopefully all that will be done by this weekend~ I've already put close to 300 miles on 'er just this past weekend~ [8D]
I look forward to meeting some of ya.. and maybe riding with you someday too~ I'm sure I'll have a few newbie questions to toss out there now and then, and will share what knowledge I have when I can~ For now... it's time to lurk and see what I can find in here~ [:-]
