Hello, I just found out about this forum from someone on Ebay. I am a new rider. I have wanted a HD for 30 years. I decided I am not going to live forever and will never be able to afford one so I just went and bought one anyway. I was going to wait till spring but I found out the color I wanted was not available in 2010, so I had the dealer locate a 2009 and had it transported, picked out my accessories, got them installed, picked it up an put about 200 miles on it before the snow storm hit.

Looking forward to learning a lot from this forum and meeting some new friends.
Here's a picture of my bike if I uploaded it right.

Congrats on the nice bike and welcome to the forum from the Netherlands, aasmitty757!

The image you posted has to be resized...it "bloats" the thread! Edit: it's OK now!!

Go here and you'll find a write up on how to add images (max 800 x 600) to your post.

If you have resized the images, go to the original post, use the edit option, delete the actual image and add the 800x600 pic!

If you need some more help, just shoot me a PM.

Enjoy your bike & this forum,

FXD2003Rider
