Still can't believe I actually did this.......2010 Sportster Iron 883. Has the 1200cc conversion kit and tuner chip. Too much bike for a noob but the price was right.
Rode a few mini-bikes and quads in my lifetime but never an an actual motorcycle before. Had a relative drive it to their house in a nice development for lessons (lots of intersections, corners, etc. with minimal daytime traffic), watched a few youtube videos, then climbed aboard. Managed to keep it upright for 10 minutes before I beefed it onto the neighbors lawn. No harm done to me, beast sustained a few minor scratches and a squashed air filter (there goes $100). Went home that night thinking seriously about calling the whole thing off and selling it.
Came back the next day, sucked a little less and liked it a little more, was getting the hang of the controls. Cousin followed me around on her bike (one in the background above), took me to a parking lot and gave me a few pointers on turning and shifting. Love it now. Haven't taken it over 40mph but have had more fun on this thing than in any car I've ever owned. I have offically been converted to the two wheel club.
But it's an itch never scratched, my mother would not have liked it at all 
Now I know what that Ewok on the speeder bike felt like.
