Was Your VERY First bike a Harley?

I recently bought my very first bike. Yes, it is a Harley. I bought the 08 sportster xl1200c. It fit and felt perfect for me. I sat on quite a few others and they didnt feel right but this one did. It has made it easier to learn to ride since it feels natural to me. The only problem Im having is with turns from a stop. Im getting used to it but it still makes me nervous. Hubby put a screaming eagle performance kit & vance & hines exhaust in it before I rode it.
That really scared me. I was afraid I was going to pop a wheelie!!!!:bigsmiley25: But, Im glad that this is the bike Im learning on. Im comfortable with riding now Im just working on the turns from a stop. I'll get the hang of it!:D
