I saw this within another "newbies" entry into our forum, and thought I'd help him out and copy it here to get a new one going for him.
(if this is a duplicate, sorry)

Welcome aboard LanceWildcat1, and congrats on the new ride

ORIGINAL: LanceWildcat1
I am a newby to this forum and to HD's. Just bought my first HD, XL883L,, although this is definitely not my first bike!! I've had a couple of other bike's. I have always wanted a Harley, and finally decided,at 56 year's old to get it!!! I am enjoying it, and plan to get a lot of mile's in this summer. I really appreciate all the help from the HD guys at the dealership, and from other rider's!! I am going to try for Sturgis this summer, but may not make it this year. I am partially disabled in that I have lost my left pectoral muscle to gangrene 10 year's ago.....although it doesn't seem to hinder my riding in any way. I will be back to this forum as often as possible. I will probably have some question's for other, more experienced rider's. I was taught at an early age that there are no stupid question's, so be prepared.[sm=americanasmiley.gif]
