Default Newbie Harley owner from across the pond.
Hi all,
FNG here, just joined the forum, and just bought my first Harley, a '90 1200 Sportster. I'm sure I'll have the occasional problem, and silly question, so be gentle.

I live in England, and I'm a mechanic, currently working offshore in the Gulf of Mexico.
