Have not been on here for a number of years but finally convinced the wife that I needed to ride a HD again. Have still been riding and playing with bikes but ones that are way too fast for this old dude. So bought a 2010 Dyna today and I wonder now why I sold my last Dyna.

If you haven't been riding in a while take it easy that first thousand miles or so until it comes back to you. Let's see a pic or two of the new bike.

I came back to riding last year after a break of more than 10 years. Now I can't imagine going back to non bike ownership. I ride to work nearly every day and do about 1000km a month.
Welcome back

The bike is a 2010 Super Glide with 5k on the clock. Will get pics posted soon. Never did stop riding and never have in 50+ years but just now back to the roots and a very different type of riding. Last 2 bikes were Suzuki Hayabusa and Suzuki GSX 1250

Wow very nice. That bike is barely even broken in it sounds like.
