Default Hello

New guy here. I just wanted to introduce myself. I am currently in the Marines (Infantry) and have been for the last 13 years. I am on my 4th combat deployment right now. The latest one brings me back to Afghanistan. When not deployed I ride an 09 Nighster. Only mods that I have on it so far are Vance and Hines Short Shots in black and a Stage 1 kit. I plan on raising the tank, replacing the stock handlebars with drag bars and possibly lowering the rear by an inch. I joined this board, because I really do not know too much about bikes other than just riding and I figure there are a lot of experienced people on here that I could benefit from. Well I look forward to meeting all of you and stay safe out there.
