First time Harley owner
Greetings. 61 years old and live in northeast Florida near the beginning of A1A. I purchased a used 2022 Sportster Iron 883 with 1,256 miles on it a week and a half ago. I do not have possession of it yet as I'm having the dealer do a couple of light mods to it and they're waiting on parts. Hope to have it tomorrow or Wednesday.
Previous bikes: 1980's - Honda "matic" 450. Rode for about three years. In 2007 I bought my first cruiser, a Suzuki Volusia C50. Sold it during a divorce and later bought a Suzuki Boulevard C90. Rode it for about 2 years and then a friend wanted to buy it as he retired and wanted a bigger bike for him and his wife to travel on. In 2019, I bought a Suzuki C50 B.O.S.S. because my daughter was turning 16 and I knew she'd be taking my car all the time and I didn't want to be stranded at home. This was my favorite bike. All black. As one friend said, that was one sexy looking bike. Three years later I realized I was rarely riding so sold it and regretted it. That was 2 1/2 years ago and I just can't stand not having a bike. I've always wanted a Harley and this one was affordable for me.
Can't wait to get back in the saddle again.

Welcome to the HDFORUM.
I hope you continue to enjoy your ride here.
Only as a suggestion, by me as a USER, create a signature line similar to my one line on my bike information.
The year, model, and all the letters Harley assigned to the bike. It will appear at the bottom of your post.
Doing this will be helpful if you ask a question. All Harleys aren't the same with many changes and variations over the years.
Of course, you can add it to any thread with a question.
You can also add any other details you choose and a favorite picture to the signature lines.
If you like, you can also add another favorite picture for an Avatar you see at the top left of all your posts as a postage stamp.
