View Full Version : New rider - first bike
Custom73 13th February 2008, 19:50 Hi, just wanted to introduce myself. I live in SD and just bought a 2000 XL1200C. It's my first bike and I haven't even gotten to ride it yet - temps around 0 and 6" of new snow... Very anxious to get on the road. This looks like a good forum group, and I'll have several newbie questions, so I'll be seeing you around.

Pics are now in my gallery...

widdis 16th February 2008, 17:44 Welcome to the forum. As a newbie here myself I have quickly found this place to be very useful.
And I must admit my stupidity...it took me a second or two to realize SD was not San Diego!!!

SPURS-DarkRider 17th February 2008, 13:19 Welcome to the forum from Texas. Newbie and first time bike owner too. Be sure and take the new rider course and dont be ashamed of doing a lot of parking lot practice. The 1200 is a lot of bike with lots of low end torgue, it will try to get away from a newbie, till you get a handle on it.
