Well i have never owned a bike before nor do i even have my license yet. but that will change as i just got a 1988 Sportster given to my from a very good customer. Turns out he likes his ninja better. I paint bikes for a living and have always wanted one so i take it this is a sign from god, to get my (_,_) out there and ride like the rest. I don't know much about this bike other than i have to go through it and change all the fluids as i don't know when the last time it was done. better safe than sorry right? well i hope to get alot out of this forum and hopefully make some new friends, find some swap meets in my area and maybe even meet some locals on here.

THanks
Rick C
