Default New from Milwaukee WI
Hey everyone just joined.Eventually Im hoping to learn from members here about retro-fitting and self-repair of Harley Sportsters.I own an 89'Sportster myself, and its my second bike. Im a full time college student and Ive been a full time EMT for 2 years.My schedule is very busy "except for summers" so I went as far as selling my hunting rifle to be able to buy the bike back in June.I needed something to take my mind of war,politics,economy and all the other depressing things I have to look foward to now and in the future. Riding somehow takes my mind off the bad and puts it on the good.I love the comradery between harley/motorcycle riders, its a family Im proud to be apart of.-David (22 year old male)
