Default Noobie...
Yes I am the FNG. Thought I would post here first for an intro. I know some sites don't like sneeking in under the radar.
Just put money down on a 05 XL1200R Vivid black. Should be breakin it in by this weekend. Got a little tired of the race bikes ( just came off a 04 ZX10R ) so now it's time to ride something a little more up-right. This should be a good starting HD. In 2 years I would like to get a Electra glide 2.
Any way just wanted to say Hi to all...wil be picking your brains later for upgrades and the likes...

Pick our brains anytime,

Post pics of the bike if you can find time to stop riding.

Weather is just too good around here.
