Default Wish me luck!

As the picture tells, I have my Road King loaded on a Keyboard Transport truck and its on its way to Fort Worth Texas. The folks at Keyboard were awesome and its being delivered to Ft Worth HD where i'll pick it up. Greg at HD was a huge help.


At almost 55 I made the hardest decision of my entire life. I packed myself up and I'm leaving the NYC area for the 1st time in my life. I never lived anywhere else. New career, new friends, new home. I traded my Scat Pack Shaker Challenger for a Jeep. My oldest is on her own, my youngest is off to college.


Im looking forward to a new career, a new life and a 12 month riding season. I'll figure this out...

Good for you - never easy making a change like that. I left the Albany, NY area about 14 years ago and have never looked back!

No more hard rolls or pizza again and it's improper to use the word **** more than once in a sentence. Are you going to work on the new wall I hear about? Good luck in the move. I left NYC after 20 years. Oh, don't try to use your sense of humor, no one will ever appreciate it.
