New member/old rider
Just popped in to say hey, been riding since '76. Started out with a '71 xlch, moved up to an '81 fxrs in '84 and in '98 I bought my first brand new off the showroom floor Electraglide Classic, which at 172,000 miles I'm still riding today. I also currently own a 2005 Buell XB12s (don't ask me why a 55 year old man felt the need or desire for that rocket, I can't explain that, lol)
My Electraglide is on its 3rd motor build, this time it's 96" EVO with Wiseco 10:1 pistons, heads completely reworked by BC Gerolamy, a crane 316-2b cam, Super E carb and a White bros 2-into-1 header. It puts about 100HP down yet maintains reliability. I know that this motor would be best suited to an FXR, but it actually works very well to load the wife and all her stuff on it and run up into high country without having to keep knocking it down a couple gears.
So with that, cheers!

The Buell satisfies that itch to be stupid; luckily I'm starting to outgrow that itch...
eta: the Ducati monster on the left is the kid's bike. He's likely going to inherit the Buell on his birthday this year. He's already put a couple thousand miles on it.
