Default new man on the block
been reading this forum and the xl forum for about 8 months and in april decided to buy after 30 years. bought my first hd a 04r 1200'cc of pure heaven. its lava red sunglo, hd shield, hd pegs, custom hd seat and sissy bar. now has bags and fix'in to change the passenger pegs to flat boards for the ole ladies feet [they get hot] poor baby. i was hoping for a deterant but she is focused. anyways hadn't ridden in 30 years took the msf got the m stamp on my license and away i go. haven't got to fancy on it yet but i bought it to ride and see the country not see it as a blurr. always wanted a sporty always been my favorite scooter. i'm from middle tenn but working in tx and have the scooter with me. will be keeping in touch as i have ?'s and my 1st hd and will need some tender nurturing. stay beside me or in front as i dip a little snuff. the bike has tenn tags. be careful and keep it upright
