Default Yet another newbie...
Hello all - just a quick note to introduce myself! I am English and ride a Sportster that started life as an 883 and has matured nicely into a 1200. I bought my bike from new in 2000 and have done every single mile of the 37,000 or so miles myself. It is my first Harley, but wont be my last!

Welcome to the forums from the Arizona Highlands. Sounds like you've got a good start on your scoot over the last two years. Did you do all the work on the bike by yourself also?
