Default let me introduce myself...

Hi everyone -

I'm a fairly new rider (3 years now) and I still get such a thrill when I get to ride my ownbike!

My inspiration to ride came from a Harley poster, which had a tough, but feminine, woman rider - she wasstaring right into the camera and the caption at the bottom simply read: "I am not a backrest." That was all it took in order for me to realize, "hey, I don't want to be a backrest either!"

My first and current bike is a 1999 sportster 883. It's been a great bike; however, I'm looking forward to upgrading someday. My dreambike is softail deluxe.

I'm new to forum settings so if I come off as "quiet" (no postings) - it's not that I'm shy or snobbish, it’s just that I don't yet know how to get around this place!

Kind regards,

~Monica
