Default New to the Forum 2012 Heritage Classic

I'm Dave, and new to the Harley Forum, but not to riding. My last ride was a 00' Valkyrie. I've been lurking around the forum since February, and finally am getting a chance to participate and post a few pictures. I really like the softail, but know a bagger will be in my future for weekend trips etc…. I'm from Slidell LA, about 30 minutes from New Orleans. I enjoy reading your posts, and feel certain i'll have many questions in the future.
