1st Harley at 60
I suppose you could say it took me a while to get here. Owning a Harley had never been one of my priorities. Nothing against them, just guess I leaned more toward the Goldwing crowd.
Been riding on and off for about 25 years. Have owned a couple of four cylinder Hondas (’75 Honda 750 & ’05 Honda ST1300) with a couple of twins thrown in along the way. Assumed I'd end up with that Goldwing eventually, but my hips started killing me, so it’s time to get my feet forward. You've heard the story.
Any who, scored a ’98 Springer Softail FXSTS from a friend, so a new chapter begins. So far it feels really great and I’m looking forward to racking up some miles. Priorities change, and that’s a good thing.

Welcome from the Texas Gulf Coast region. Better late than never. Enjoy the Springer. It's one of the more unique Harleys out there. Keep the rubber side down.
