Hey everyone:
 \\;
Not sure why but for some reason after getting my second Harley, 08 Street Glide, in Nov 07 I decided to join the forum. \\; \\; Must be something to do with being middle age I guess. \\; Grew up with bikes since I was 8 and raced motocross very seriously from age 11 to 21. \\; Yes, lots of joints \\;that now give me problems as I'm getting older. \\; I've always been a motorsports fanatic with interests in high performance cars, snowmobiles, jet skis and just about anything with an engine. \\; \\; My father retired from our family business in 1999 and bought his first Harley and that's what got me into street riding. \\; We take several trips each year but always do our father &\\; son ride each spring and fall. \\; In the fall \\;we head from Chicago to Ft. Myers FL and take about 7-8 days on back roads to enjoy the ride. \\; We stop in the mountains in TN, NC etc. to spend a few days riding some of the best roads \\;we have ever found for motorcycles. \\; Yes, we have ridden the infamous Tail of The Dragon RT 129 in TN,NC but it's not really something any touring Harley is made for. \\; Lots of other great roads in the area that are more ejoyable. \\; \\; Then in the spring I fly down and meet mt father and \\;we do the return trip back here to Chicago. \\; God bless my father - 70 years old and \\;he traded in his 99 Ultra Classic in TN last Nov for a new 08 SE Ultra Classic. \\; If I can keep doing this when I'm his age I'll feel blessed too. \\;
 \\;
Current bikes - 03 VROD, one of the factory custom red on red ghost \\;flame colors. \\; Lots of chrome goodies, SE exhauts, AC and tuner. \\; \\; 2008 Street Glide new \\;11/07. \\; After 3,800 miles just did the 103 ci stage II big bore kit. \\; Bub 7 ture duals (way too loud!), tuner and AC. \\;
 \\;
Looking forward to the next ride.
 \\;
