Smile I'm Back!



On 2 wheels again! Recently I got a real hot smokein deal on a new 2012 Harley Fatboy...I say new as the previous owner only put 1500 miles on it, did some nice mods, and basically gave it away....I couldn't pass a deal like this up!
I still have the trike and plan on keeping it for quite sometime, as my wife really loves the security it provides! We are not getting any younger, and really enjoy taking off together on longer trips. HOWEVER I still like 2 wheels and have overcome my physical disabilities, feeling good again and looking forward to doing some solo trips. Some pictures of the new ride...

Welcome back! After having some health issues that forced me to quit riding last year I sold my trike and thought riding was out of the picture. Friday I found a 2015 used Fat Boy with only 418 miles on it and bought it. Today I rode it home. It feels good to be on 2 wheels again I hope it lasts. Good Luck
