New guy, south Florida here. Don't own a bike, but that may change in the next couple days. My buddy used to leave his '05 Fatboy at my house, but after four years just took it back, so I'm bikeless. I just got married a few weeks ago, and she's in school, so there's very little money available to replace it, but I've got a lead on a Sportster. Guy I work with bought it new in 1990, it's a 1200 with 1900 miles on it. If we can work out a price, I'll take it home this weekend, and I'm sure I'll be askin for some advice here. My father in law is a member here, I believe.
