Default New guy from middle georgia
I just got my first motorcycle today: a 1996 HD Sportster 1200 Custom. I have a few friends with Harley's, and they have been wanting me to buy one so I can enjoy the sport with them.

I am a gear head, currently in college for Mechanical Engineering. I have had a Nissan truck in the mini trucking magizine and I have had an 09 Arctic Cat Mud Pro on the cover of Mudders Mag.

I am getting out of the "riding fourwheelers" sport, now joining the "riding motorcycles" sport.

I cant wait to learn all about these bikes....I look forward to meeting up with a few of you guys/gals and cruising some back roads of GA sometime soon!
