Don't be too nervouse when you get aboard your new ride.....be cautiouse though. I picked up my brand new 2010 FXDC with no experience other than riding the little 125cc kawis around the lot in the msf course. I did fine and have had no issues......rode it right home from the dealership. You'll be fine......my only suggestion is if you can find a friend to come along that would be a great help......I had 2 buddies meet me at the dealership and ride with me. That helped alot!
