Hi all.

Just found the site, recently bought a new 1200 Sportster, should have got stage 1 done before delivery but hey live and learn, getting it done on the first service in two weeks.

Having a great time ridin, been away from bikes for a few years, madness, its great to be back. Got the stock option gonna try and personalise it over the coming months (years).

Cheers

Paul
