Biggest thing I learned when I 1st started was watch everyone's wheels.. the front wheel will always tell you what I driver is about to do..

Absolutely! When you start feeling comfortable and cocky let that be a sign to be even more aware!

That's a kick *** bike to start with, parked next to one today at work, and we wanna see pictures. And welcome to the greatest thing on Earth (well, with your pants on and all)!

Remember, there are two things that WILL get you hurt or killed.

1) Riding beyond your limits, you'll know them, and they will change.

2) It's not YOUR limits that you need to be worried about, it's EVERYONE ELSES!

Be safe, and be a part of the forum. There are some great guys who share your new found love, and who will help you in any way they can!
Thanks Bro

Welcome to the forum. I'm new too, not to Harleys but new to the forum. I'm a troublemaker so look out!! LOL.
Since you are starting with a grown man's bike you probably won't be influenced by the blackout crew on the forum. If so, make dam sure you make that bike as bright and loud as you can. You WANT cagers to see/hear you!!! Local kid here riding his totally blacked out night train got hammered by a truck that simply could not see him!! Eveything blacked out with smoke lenses!! You ask for trouble, you will probably get it one way or the other. Just sayin...............And you tar babies need to know that flamming me is like pouring water on a ducks back! The reason? I plain don't give a chit!!

Welcome to this friendly forum, except for me!! LOL

Yes welcome to the forums. Now get out the check book and make the bike YOURS!!!

The modifications you can do to your bike are endless so before you do any mods get on this forum and ask away and get some really good incite and opinions on your mods.
