Thread: My soon to be first motorcycle

I started learning to ride out here in Santa Fe with my moms husband a few months ago. He's been riding for 41 years and has been a great teacher. Well, last time I was out, he offered to sell my his first Harley, a 1987 Sportster. Naturally, I said I'd love to buy it. I never imagined my first bike would be a Harley, and I'm very happy it will be.

On this trip, we have ridden every day. So far the most was 70 miles, but tomorrow we are thinking of riding up to Los Alamos. I also got my own leather jacket (had been borrowing one of his) and chaps (borrowed a set last time I was out, because we rode in January).

I will be taking a motorcycle safety class back home the first weekend in May, and then we will ship the bike back to me in NY.

Heres a photo of the Sportster and his 100th anniversary Dyna in the background.
