Hello! I just wanted to introduce myself to everyone. My name is Chris and I'm a newbie. I picked up my Deluxe on Aug. 28. I had taken the MSF course 4 weeks before but had never even so much as sat on a Harley. Now don't get me wrong this was not a spur of the moment purchase but something I have dreamt about for over a decade. Anyway The first Harley I ever sat on was my Deluxe. I purchased it from a dealer over 250 miles away from my home and yes without any riding experience to speak of (beside the MSF), I rode it home.....with thee single biggest smile on my face ever! I have since put almost 2800 miles on it. I love it. It is a dream come true.
I joined this forum to hopefully learn from all of you more experienced riders. I have a ton of questions but for now I'll just check out the threads so I don't ask anything that's already been asked.
Thanks, Chris

RE: New Guy
Hey man,
Welcome aboard. I'll be a first time Harley owner in March. I have rented Harelys a couple of times... I know ALL about that "smile": I remember riding home one night and it was COLD... the whole time I was thinking "Man, I'm freezing, but I'm on a HARLEY, so who cares!?!", and I had a huge chattering grin on my face! Congrats on the purchase!
Cheers!

Congrats on your purchase and welcome.
I'm expecting delivery of my first Harley within the next two weeks. I've been riding for years, simply never had the money to get one.
Come back often!

RE: New Guy
Hi Everyone and thanks for the warm welcome. I apologize for not answering sooner but I just got home from work. The first thing I do when I get home is head for the garage and check on my bike. Sometimes I don't believe it's really real. I rode yesterday afternoon, rain clouds,wind, and all. I did'nt have enough money when I bought the bike to also buy Leathers/winter gear so I was freezin but it was okay because I was on my Harley.
