Default Not so newb, newb

Hey everyone!

Newb over here from Oceanside Cali. I came on here about 2 and a half years ago when I was looking to buy a Softail Standard on the east coast. When I went to the shops I actually got discouraged because the guys at the Harley shops were being jerks. After that all I would do was just browse and read up on all the info you guys post on here. I ended up not buying a bike, waited a bit and got a sportbike instead. After getting stationed on the west coast and a while of riding that, I decided to give it another shot. Went to a bunch of Harley shops out here in San Diego County and finally found my bike. I got rid of the sportbike and now own a 2008 Dyna Street Bob. Looking forward to putting some miles on this bike and hoping to learn a lot. Sorry for novel.
