Default Howdy!!!

Howdy from Texas. Just bought myself a brand new 2008 Harley Davidson Nightster. This is my very first motorcycle and I am very excited about riding and customizing my bike. I take my saftey course next weekend and I have already started practicing riding my nightster. I have already gone on a 1 hour trip with some friends and I am very excited about being part of the motorcycle world. I do a lot of driving around town (back roads) and practicing in a parking lot. This is my graduation present to myself after 7 years of school. I have an Associates Degree in Computer Networking, a Bachleors in Buisness, and another Bachelors in Computer Information Systems. I will start working on my Masters in Instructional Technology this summer. Hope to be able to ride with some of you soon.

My first upgrades to my bike will be VH Shortstacks, KN Air Filter, Mustang Solo Seat, and 412 Black Progressive Shocks.
