Default New Rider & Harley Owner

Hi I just bought my first Harley 2008 Sportster 883L last night and very excited. I was not riding a 98 Yamaha Vstar for 6 months. Never felt the luv with it. So I finally went out and decided on the Sportster and I immediately found the confidence in riding in one night. So I hope to find a beginners ladies group in my area to ride with to enhance my riding skills.
