New gal from Florida
Just purchased by first bike ever a 2009 Sportster 883. I got my endorsement 10 days ago because my husband bought a 2012 soft tail deluxe and I decided I wasn't sitting home while he was out riding and having a blast. Still a little nervous so if anyone has any suggestions I love to hear them.

Welcome from California!
Solicited advise:You are NEVER done learning to ride. Make sure to take an advanced (also a beginning if you haven't already) motorcycle course. They are well worth the time and the money. Your insurance company will most likely give you a discount for the class(es) too. Oh, and one more thing: ride as if all drivers are trying to kill you. It isn't far from the truth.

Welcome from south Louisiana. Don't be scared of the bike, but make sure you respect it. Also remember that your safety comes second to somebody that's on their phone, playing with their stereo, texting, putting on their make up, so on and so forth. People do not watch out for bikes, you have to watch out for them.
Then the most important part is post pictures and ask questions.
