Default New Harley owner
I just bought my first harley it's a 2003 1200 Sportster, I Love it!! I've already read alot of the posts that have to deal with a coughing problem I'm having with it and they have helped alot, but it's also a little cold out, I froze my butt off on last nights ride. I don't want to do alot to it, I like the traditional sportster look, but I will have to cut some of the sound from the drag pipes, local police don't like the noise. I just wanted to say HI and thanks for a great forum.

Welcome from Vancouver, WA. Great Sporty. I also have a 1200 Sportster that I ride everywhere. This is a great place and there is lots of info to be found. Enjoy.
