I cam home from work two days ago to find a 2008 Sportster in my garage, but....I'd never driven a motorcycle before. Yesturday I got a helmet and jacket and rode around the neighborhood. My saftey classes are July 9th.
So, I'm about as new a newbie ans newbies can be-at 44!
How did the bike get in your garage.....by osmosis?
The MRS. I'd been talking about getting a bike for a couple of months. Found out my neighbor was the sales Mgr at the local shop-looked at one and priced it. Wasm't going to buy one til I had the classes-she wanted to surprise me.
I know the feeling, I find a 2008 Sportster in my garage every morning. \\; I still get excited every time I see it. \\; Congrats on the new bike, and good move on the MSF course.
