Did you buy from Adamec or Rossmeyer?

Bought it at Rossmeyer, they are right around the corner from my job and always wanted to stop in there. Always said, if I was gonna buy it a bike it had to be a harley and here I am lol.

I'll get some pics hopefully this coming week. Had to drive it home in the wind and rain so now I need to clean it up again. Plus got to take it back to Rossemeyer for a few tweaks.

My purchase at Rossemeyer was very good. The whole experience and everyone I dealt with were quite nice and they ended up giving me a decent deal on the bike to get my payments where I wanted them. All in all I would recommend them and my sales guy Charlie Trader.

Take the MSF or Riders Edge course. Practice in empty parking lots. Don't try to get ahead of yourself. Enjoy.

I agree with this. The roads are a dangerous place. Its like everyone's out to run over you.

When I first started, I rode the wheels off my new nighty in a school parking lot for a month or so. Then I took the MSF (only way to get your license in Texas). Have fun and ride safe!!

I plan to take the course within the next few weeks. I spent about an hour or more in the parking lot getting comfortable since it had been close to 20 years since I hopped on a bike. Luckily they have a huge area at destination daytona so it was nice and forgiveable while learning.

I drove it home and then spent most of yesterday riding around town. Feeling much more comfortable already and making sure I keep my distance from other vehicles.

Already wanting to add a few upgrades to the bike.. vance & hines seems stuck in my head lol. I loved the sound of the bike with those pipes.

Thanks for the welcome all.
