Default New Harley Owner

Hi all. Just got my first Motorcycle on June 12. I have a 09 Pewter Harley Fat Bob. Customizations include Black Vance and Hines Short Shots, Smoked Turn signals, Black Fin Timer Cover, and Black Fin Derby cover. My plan is to black it all out Oakland Raider style. I am pumped about being a biker. . .now if I could only figure out those right turns!!!

Welcome from Oregon!
Maybe you should try a safety riding course first?
Would be good to see you still here in 6 months.
