Default New Guy - Arlington, VA
Hi folks. I'm Jay. I've got an 04 883 xl. Had it modified to a 1200. It's my first bike - love it! I want to learn about how to do repairs and that type of stuff for myself, but mechanically i'm an idiot - do everything wrong the first time, and sometimes many more times. Hopefully i can learn how to do some stuff through this forum!
