Default Introduction

Hi. I am a first time motorcycle owner and a new rider. I purchased a 2005 sportster 883 converted to a 1200. It had 21000k miles on it. I absolutely love riding and am learning to take care of my own maintenance and possibly some future mods.
I look forward to scouring these forums for valuable tips and information, as well as receiving feedback on issues or questions.

Thanks for a great site,
Julie

Welcome Julie, I'm new hear too. It won't be long and you'll be wanting a bigger and more comfortable ride...enjoy! I just bought a new 2011 Road King about a month ago. Already put 1500 miles on her, loved every second of it.

Take care and safe riding,

Gonzo

welcome aboard Julie from the Borderland!
if its information, ideas and opinions you seek - you'll LOVE this forum.
it has saved my bacon ($$) on several occasions.
plus it can be a lot of fun when you're not riding too
