Default Another first Harley Newbie

Hello,
My name is Robert. I just bought my first Harley a few weeks ago. It is a stock black 07 XL1200 Custom. I've only been riding for about 2 years, and my previous bike was a v-star 1100. I am very excited to finally own a Harley, and I decided to start out with a Sporty to get my feet wet and since it fit my budget.

Looking forward to learning alot about working on and modifying my bike from this forum......Thanks.

GS
