New the forum and new to Harleys.

I brought home a 2011 Wide Glide on Wednesday and I'm loving every minute of it!

I've raced MX since I was 11 and worked in a Kawasaki/Suzuki shop for about 6 years when I was younger and was never interested in Harleys but about a year ago I saw the Wide Glide and fell in love. I finally broke down and bought one.

Any way, I'm glad I found this place so I'll just kick back now and try and absorb as much info as possible.

Welcome to the forum. Lots of good info here. Like any open forum there are a few a$$holes here from time to time (Just ignore me, I mean them). but a tremendous amount of good information is available right here.
Use the search feature before you ask too many questions. They have probably already been beat to death and some of the guys that have been here awhile get a little impatient with new posters asking the same old questions. LOL
