Default new guy

hello everyone,
My name johnny and im 20 yrs old. I been always adoring my dads 80 flh,but the problem its way to big and heavy. Really not so use to it YET. But its been a while since my dad had picked it up, ive been helping him repair it, as well keeping it clean. When he wasnt home and working i was rebuilding the carberatur and working on the solenoid. My dad was always saying to have a cruise with him one of these days. So i decided to head to the shop and picked up my bike. Nothing too fancy, something that can help with gas and take me to school. Very easy to manuever and light as well something to practice for the meantime. I picked a roadster 883 and loving it, but still not use the bugs getting in the way.
thanks for reading my post

Welcome from South Ga

I've been watching this forum for a couple of months and I have learned a lot from these guys and I've had a chuckle or two.
