Just turned 31 a few weeks ago. I'm on my first harley an 06' FLHX street glide which I bought used last year with only 1100 miles on it. Wish I would have gotten one sooner! Before then I suppose I didn't have enough money or time.

28 on a heritage classic, I ride solo mostly unless you count my girl on the back.

I dont care for riding with others since my first and only group ride where I almost died because a new rider freaked out on a tight mountain curve and slammed on the brakes in the turn and almost dumped it and taking me out with them.

Where ya at in Nodak? I grew up in Fargo and just talked to my mom. She asked what I was doing to not answer her phone call. I responded with " Riding the Hog" She was in disgust that its nice enough here for that when its -17 there.
