Default New to Riding after 30+Years from GA

Hello all I just wanted to say hello. I have just recently purchased a 2014 Sporster 883xl. I had Open Heart Surgery in February and went through a ton of issues. I have a new perspective now wanting to live live instead of always wishing and hoping to do things. I'm gonna just do them.
First step get back in to Riding. I have a lot to learn and hope to meet some people to ride with to help with that.


Thanks I am looking forward to being apart of the HD Forums
