Default Introducing the Winner!

Hello, HDforums.com! My name is Bobby, I'm (about to turn) 30 yrs old and have just purchased my first HD. I live in Round Rock (North Austin, TX). I have been riding sport bikes for over 5 years and have finally made the switch to a cruiser. What better cruiser than a HARLEY, right!? (Are there others??) I had been searching and browsing Craigslist for the last few months and ran across one that really hit my taste on the head... the Vivid Black Rocker C. After watching them and having several hits on my custom painted 2003 Yamaha R1 (now sold), I had found the one that was JUST what I was wanting. After a few emails, a couple phone calls and a pretty easily convinced Dad to come along for the ride to Houston, I was towing home MY VERY OWN Rocker C with 1,307 miles on the ticker. I've put about 150 miles on it, as of now, and am ABSOLUTELY in LOVE! The sound. The Ride. The Stance. I should have done this 5 years ago!

I'm looking forward to the advice and suggestions from everyone here as well as the new places I'll see and the people I'll meet!

Everytime I "google" a question, HDForums.com is always one of the top 3 links! If it's come up that often, it MUST be a good community for me to be a part of.
