New HD owner
Hello everyone. \\; I finally decided to fight the oil companies and get a motorcycle. \\; My last choice would have been a Harley because I have always heard you have to be somewhat of a mechanic, which I am not. \\; However, I found this sweet 2004 XL883 with very few miles that was priced way below what I thought it was worth. \\; I picked it up thinking I would just sell it and turn some cash. \\; Well, on the way home I thought I heard some valve noise so I did a google search and found HDForums. \\; Thanks to the threads here, I found that the noise is normal and that I am probably smart enough to work on the bike when it needs it. \\; The fact that the Sporty is a kick to ride and is getting me better than 50MPG didn't hurt anything either. \\; Here is a picture of the new-to-me scoot.

You think your fuel prices are high. Current price of unleaded over here is the equivalent of $10.82 per gallon! You're right to grumble about the prices, but blame the politicains rather than the oil companies.
