Default Stoked!!!
Hello to all,


After a shitty divorce and an even shittier year in Afghanistan, I've finally been able to fullfill my dream of getting an Harley. Yesterday I paid cash in full and bought a 2000 FXDX (dyna super glide sport). I am very new to street bikes, and have mostly ridden dirt bikes. I have already signed up to take the safety course and have my permit test scheduled for next week!!!!! I cant wait to get on the road and start logging miles this summer!!! Its a pleasure to be a member here and I look forward to meeting some of you on the road. SGT Bell

Welcome from Florida, after riding a dirt bike, a street bike is pretty easy, you should have no problem with the coarse, just watch out for the cars, you never can be too careful, ride like you invisible, because to a lot of them you are.
