Hi, My name's Mike. I'm new to the forum, but I've been riding the better part of my life. I live in East Central Mn. about an hour north of St.Paul. I currently ride an 06 1200 Roadster. I love how when I walk into the dealership They always try to get me on something else, like I bought this bike brand new because this wasn't the one I wanted?
I've rode dirt bikes, ricers, softtails and even rented a bagger in Vegas but this Sporty really puts a smile on my face! I guess i'm not ready for the couch yet. My GF rides a 1200C She's pretty cool.

I fired up the bike a couple of days ago and took a chilly spin into town but now I have to wait till the snow melts again, dammit

I love to ride so maybe I'll see ya on the road this summer.
