Hey guys,
I rode back when I was 18 (11 years ago), 250cc japanese sportbike. Retired it after a couple of years when I joined the army. Now I'm a civvie working to get through school, and bought a 2009 Sportster Custom 1200 from a friend's dad. I guess my tastes grew up.
I don't ride much because work demands I dress a certain way, and I'm not much of a mechanic, though I am willing to learn and am slowly getting that knowledge together. That's the biggest reason I joined this forum: I want to be able to work on my bike, and at 29 years old with no mechanical experience, it's turning into a huge (and expensive) endeavor
It's hard for me to find the time to enjoy my bike like I wish I could. I've also got only a few years of casual riding under my belt and still make rookie mistakes. I've dropped this bike twice in a year, and am pretty much waiting until I know what I'm doing and won't drop it again before I replace the scratched to crap mufflers and heat shield.
I'm more classically minded. The whole Rob Halford getup isn't really my shtick (love that guy though).
Not sure where else to go from here. My life is an open trash can, and I'm open for questions.
