Default Total Noob!

I cam home from work two days ago to find a 2008 Sportster in my garage, but....I'd never driven a motorcycle before. Yesturday I got a helmet and jacket and rode around the neighborhood. My saftey classes are July 9th.

So, I'm about as new a newbie ans newbies can be-at 44!

The MRS. I'd been talking about getting a bike for a couple of months. Found out my neighbor was the sales Mgr at the local shop-looked at one and priced it. Wasm't going to buy one til I had the classes-she wanted to surprise me.

I know the feeling, I find a 2008 Sportster in my garage every morning.&nbsp\\; I still get excited every time I see it.&nbsp\\; Congrats on the new bike, and good move on the MSF course.

HA! I was glad to make it around a few flocks with out killing myself. Honestly, the first time I got my feet on the pegs felt pretty good!

I was wondering how stupid is it to learn to ride on Harley, albeit it's an 883.

I knew there was a sub plot. Enjoy the bike and hang on to the Mrs. She sounds like a keeper.[sm=smiley20.gif]
