Hello folks!!

I am a new soon to be a HD owner. I am currently servin in Afghanistan and no I never owned a motorcycle.

I have been motorcycle licensed for about 6 years but the only time I have been on the controls was when doing the MSF course on a 250 bike.

Any help I can get is greatly appreciated. I plan on getting a '09 Nightster.

I already found the area for them so I will get to reading.

Thanks for letting me in.

Juan
