Default Back in the... well... saddle.

Had an 883 Sportster back in '93. Loved it. Traded it for a Trans Am with a bird on the hood- '76. Regretted it. Now it's 15 years later, and what I thought would never be, well, it be! I'm in the wind again. I'm loving it. Bought a '98 Dyna Convertible that has the Wide Glide front end. I picked it up this afternoon and drove it home in the bed of my Ranger. I was really paranoid about it coming loose. Got it home, and it took me a minute to get used to those forward controls. My hands got tired too, especially my left, as I was trying to sit at stop lights with the clutch in and in first. That'll change. Sure do appreciate this forum. Lot of good people and information. Looking forward to sticking around.
