Talking Well hello!

Hi guys! I just bought my first Harley on Saturday! Let alone my first bike ever. Last week i took the riders edge course at Biker bob's in taylor,Mi. I passed it with flying colors and went straight to the DMV, the next day i bought my first bike and i paid $3000 for it. I've only been riding for 2 days(on the road that is)
oh geez, i almost forgot! i have a 1997 Harley Sportster with 14,401 miles on it.
