Default Never introduced myself... Crash pics!!
So I joined this forum shortly after I traded my DRZ for a Sportster. I've been riding for 12 years and it's all been sportbikes and dual sports and this was my first Harley. Yeah I said was...

Last thursday, Less than a month after getting the Sporty, a car pulled a left right in front of me and I rammed into her passenger side right where the door meets the fender. My head broke her windshield but my DOT half helmet did its job. I was going about 45 but I didn't fly over the car. By the grace of God I came out unscathed.

This is the Sporty now.



This was me



And this is the 08' SuperGlide that I picked up today with 10,000 miles on it!!


I allready installed bars that I had ordered for the sporty.


I guess I'm hooked on HD. Looking forward to learing all about the Dyna and meeting some more people here in Atlanta.

Cheers!
