Default noob in Iraq

I'm from Ohio, stationed at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, currently doing the last three months of a 15 month tour in Iraq. I bought my first Harley over here. An 09 red hot sunglo FXDF with forward controls. I haven't even laid eyes on it yet. It will be waiting for me when I get back. I'm married and have two daughters that are more excited about the bike than I am. I did four years enlisted before crossing over to the dark side. I am currently a Captain and have about 10 years left to retirement.

I don't figure to do much posting, but I really enjoy reading here so I figured I'd introduce myself. I hope to see you all on the road. 'Til later, have a good ride.

You have to love the Deployee pricing. I should have done that when I was in Iraq. I'm stationed in Korea now and I just got a Nightster through Exchange New Car Sales. I know what it's like to buy a bike and not even lay eyes on it, I can't wait to pick it up when I get to Polk.
