Default Hi from Middle TN

Hi from middle TN,&nbsp\\; First owned HD, bought a 2008 1200XL (Sportie) in mid May.&nbsp\\; Stock other than the 1/2 windshield, engine guard, tack kit, wire wheels, solo seat and rack.&nbsp\\; Currently just passed 2500 miles.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
Prior riding was on other people's superglides in the late 1980's (bikes were late 70's early 80's models) in Cleveland OH.&nbsp\\; It took me 3 years to save up enough cash, and I was trying to decide on a new 1200 or a used FXDL.
&nbsp\\;
I have a long roundtrip to work, 75 miles in 1 day.&nbsp\\; It is great pointing out gas went up .05 per gallon, this is going to cost me 50 cents extra a week in gas.&nbsp\\; People who know will point out the fun riding days.&nbsp\\; The power and handling is great.&nbsp\\; I ride from&nbsp\\;farming to hilly areas into Nashville.
