Default I love it!

Hello to everybody here! I still can't believe I own a Harley! I've wanted a bike for many years, and couldn't resist the urge to go pick up an Iron 883. I've never owned a motorcycle, and need to start learning to ride from scratch - I love the bike and can't wait to start enjoying all the perks that come with being part of this group. I'm in Novi, MI and I'm 31 - and I think my Harley is AWESOME!

Welcome from Va. The Iron 883 is a sweet ride. Have you taken a MSF class yet? If not, thats a great place to start.

I haven't taken the MSF class yet but I'll be there sometime in the next two weeks. I work nights so my schedule is hard for normal people to accomodate! I've heard good things about the class and definately need some good instruction on how to handle the bike - it's still at the dealer, I just signed the paperwork on it yesterday!
