Just bought an '05 FXDI. It's great! Just waiting for the bad weather here in the Southeast to fizzle out to get in some long rides.

Glad you found us. The weather will break, glad you and yours are OK, looks like some of the country got some pretty crappy weather though.

Welcome to the forums from the Arizona Highlands. Nothing like getting a new scoot and bad weather sets in. Okay, how about some pics?

Hi all, I'm a newby here but not to riding Harleys. I've had several Harleys, the last one I had was an FXD I bought new in 2000. Rode that puppy out to Sturgis and beyond, only to have some @$#hole run a red light and we came together. You all know that a pick up doing 60 mph and a bike doing 40 mph is gonna make a mess. Well I survived . Lost my left leg below the knee, broke my thigh bone and my hip got messed up ( all left side). I thought I'd never ride again but after about four years I thought I'd try again. I bought a 2005 Sporty because I needed a lighter bike that I could handle at "foot down speed". That was my bigest problem. I had already modified the shift lever so that all shifts were down rocker style. I can't tell you how happy I am to get back on again. But I am still a little spooked because I'm still trying to get used to the "punching" of the gearshift. I guess at this point I should mention how old I was when the accident happened. I was 62 when that happened and I was 66 when I bought that new Sporty last year. I will always ride no matter what my age. My thoughts are, if you can sit, you can ride.
