Hi all, friend let me ride his 883 Custom three months ago and that got me going. Got my permit and went to MSF school and got my license. Shortly after that, I found an 08 XL1200C that had 70 miles on it and purchased it two weeks ago.

Actually, I believe I am the third owner. It was purchased in Gettysburg, PA in 9/08 and registered in PA. The second owner titled it in NJ in 3/09 with 70 miles on it... and never drove it. I don't understand it, but I am not complaining. I was told that the first owner dumped at a low speed on a curb and walked away from it. Found a very small dent on the tank, so that may be true.


Oh, and the Angels are going down, I think...LOL
