Default Howdy

Howdy. I just joined today. Got my first HD a couple of weeks ago, a '99 Sportster 1200 conversion. Haven't had a bike since 1988. I am having more fun than I have any business having.



The Japanese motorcycle boots were just for a test drive around the block in my sister's subdivision. We were hanging out and she said she wanted to sell her bike, so I took it around a time or two. I do wear pants and boots when I ride.

Yes, I know it is pink. My buddies are already calling me Pinky.
It's actually a very nice paint job, so I'm reluctant to paint it. I was thinking a Hello Kitty back pack and a Barbie grim reaper image might round it out nicely.... LOL

Girls seem to like it.......

I am looking forward to learning and contributing......... thanks for putting this forum up.
I generally don't worry about what people think.

PS: Why didn't the pic load? This is the same setup as the chainsaw forum, and my pics embed just fine.
