Default New Harley owner

Just bought my first Harley! It's a 99 Sportster 1200 (sport, I think). I don't know a lot about the Harley's yet, but I plan to learn as much as possible. A little bit of history about the bike - it's originally from Florida and has been stored for the past 4 years until recently when it was brought to Newfoundland (where i am) and bought by me. It needs a little work (won't rununless choke on) and a good cleaning, but it's in the shop now and should be fixed up this week! Can't wait to hit the road!
