Default HD Noob...

Greetings Gents and ladies...
Just picked up my first HD last week, a 2007 Soft tail deluxe. I became a Harley convert after a trip to Sturgis a few years ago with my father on his 1200 sportster and ultra-classic. it took me a few yrs but now I'm in "the club" and couldn't be happier!
I'm looking forward to learning all about this bike and buying a ton of chrome and **** I don't really need!!!
Thanks!
