Hello everyone.

Just got back from putting the first 15 miles on my '06 Sportster 1200R. I picked it up at the dealership yesterday...still grinnin'
Also this is my first(but hopfully not the last) Harley-Davidson. Thanks to all for providing the information in the posts that I used to finalize my decision. I've been planning this for a year. Couldn't do it before because of divorce and (now ex) wife. But all that counts is that I finally got here.

Ride Safe.
