Default Greetings from Afghanistan (new guy)

Hey how yall doin? Im Jake, I'm an ARMY wheeled vehicle mechanic based out of Fort Richardson, AK, currently deployed to Afghanistan, I'm originally from southern Illinois. I come from a pretty big riding family, Dads a member of PGR, brother rides a Night Train, Ive been ridin sport bikes for the last few years now, but decided It was time to jump on somethinthat can carry me and the ol lady to parts of Alaska further than an hour from Anchorage. I just reserved myself a 2010 Fat Bob and can't wait till next year when I will finally get a chance to throw a leg over her. Till then ill just keep adding to the parts catalog that is my future mod list, browse through the under 20 buck idea section (ive already made it through about 35 pages as a lurker) and get some knowlege from and maybe share some stories with you good people, thanks for your time,
Jake
