Default Finnaly got my first Harley... Jax, FL

I just got my first bike - 1977 Harley Ironhead Sportster

I have never even ridden a motorcycle before and I could not turn down a deal that I was offered.

So here I am. I have plans to take a cycle safety course and learn to ride with a dirt bike that came as part of the deal.

To be honest I am more afraid of myself than the bike. (if that makes any sense.)

Anyway. I look forward to hearing all that you have to say and hope you can help me along the way.

Thanks

joe
