Default New rider from NC
I just got my first bike, a 2009 Sportster 1200 Custom. I have wanted one for years and finally did it. I look forward to riding it most every day to work an riding with the wife when I get a bit of experience.

I did look at these forums quite a bit prior to purchase, and was appreciative of all the good information.

Hello from Owensboro, KY! Just traded in a 07 1200 Sporty. I loved that bike, but I was a little cramped and traded up. However, I will tell you that 1200 was super quick!
