No, that's the one in a place you can't see because I respect you as a lady. Husbands never meant much to me. LMAO!

Gotta cram all the fun I can into the time frame I'm working with.
MossyOak,

Check out the Big Radius 2:1, I think they look BA and should be better performance. I have yet to see them on any bike in person. Can't figure out why they are not more popular than the Big Radius 2:2. Maybe they sound like ****?

I have 2:1 pipes, I don't like the look.

If you are planning on taking Riders Edge at one of the dealerships, you may want to try to sign up now. March should be fairly easy to get into, but I took a class in April, and had to wait 3 weeks from when I signed up. Sign up before you get here, so you can take the class early and be ready to ride sooner.

I took my class at Chesters HD in Mesa. I really liked the instructors.

Mossy Oak - Nothing wrong with being a rookie. A couple of us just started riding last year.

AZDesertTroll - I have an 883 Sportster. Good bike for my size and height. Haven't taken it on long trips though.

I didn't particularly like the look of the 2 into 1 either. I think I will go ahead with the 2 into 2. Thanks for the info though.

Of course, that being said, I'm flying to Florida in April, and apparantly will be attending a rally there, so what to I know!!
Donna,
We intentionally picked a smaller rally out here instead of Bike week or Biketoberfest to leave more time for riding but still get a little party in. Leesburg is a lot of fun as long as you go when it is not too crowded. They close down Main street and only let bikes in town. It will be a great time but for most of the week we plan on riding. I promise you will get a good taste of the Florida back roads. Riding along the coast with a nice sandy beach by your side will definatly be a change of scenery for you. I'm looking forward to it.

My point of contact at Hacienda recommended AZMRT. I had Heidi get in touch with them and shouldn't have any issues getting into a class, but will definitely get with them a few weeks out to make sure I have a slot.

I'm not really a rookie to riding. My pops has several Guzzi 1000's for his business and I rode for him for a couple years. I am however a rookie to having this fine piece of machinery that is a Fatboy. The only thing that is going to make it look any better is to have me riding it.....let me rephrase that, having US riding it.
