Default Hello from Iraq

Hello, I am new here. I bought a 1999 FXDL with 13,000 miles while home August on vacation from Iraq. I haven't owned a bike in 20 years and have always wanted a Harley, best purchase of my life. Just like every time I have bought a bike it rained the next 4 weeks. I rode between storm or in the rain. I have been here in Iraq 13 months and have 12 more to go. I plan on spending this year making a game plan on custom work, and then taking a ride across the good old USA when I get home.

I am trying to add some pics but the internet here in Iraq is pretty bad so it may take me a while to get them to upload.
