Default New guy!

Hello - I figured that everytime I searched google for HD answers this site came up so it was time to join. PUt the guns away for my next statement! I was a salesman for Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha and Triumph for 5 years. Never in my life did I think I would own a Harley! Still believe that money wise the metrics are the way to go. With that being said after riding my aquired HD I have found that it has a certain "personality" that the others dont. My in laws are especially happy as they are full blown HD enthusiast. Hopefully this site will help me figure out exactly what I have and help me figure out the things that are way different from the metrics! I feel stupid when I try to work on this thing. I hate not knowing all the ins and outs!
