Just bought a 2010 Sportster 48 just the other day. Its being shipped to me from MI.... to Vermont, where I am from... It caught my eye immediately. I have been shopping for bike for a year now and this one was it... I'm a first time rider, so I thought I should not go too big... This bike is a beauty.. bobber seat, mini apes, screamin' eagle pipes... going to get the permit Friday and hopefully can ride the same day.... will practice near work by riding 4 miles to the ski area and back a number of times.... then onward.... Can't wait to see it with my own eyes and fire her up.... It arrives Thursday.. will post pics.
