Default Late introduction

I've posted a few times - and I've enjoyed a lot of good reading and great tips here on this forum.
Since I never really did the "New Guy" post I thought I'd do it now.

I just picked up an 05 Fatboy, FLSTFI - all black about 2 1/2 weeks ago.
Since then I've added some passing lamps, SE 2 slip-ons, Sissybar and pad, Saddle bags, and I'm ganna throw some risers on till I can scrape up enough cash to put some Heritage Classics on.

I live in Alaska, so the riding is limited to five or six months per year, but it's great when those riding months are in season. I just took a spin down the Turnagain Arm which was labeled years ago by National Geographic as being one a Americas most beautiful drives - and it certainly is. I plan on getting a lot of picts and putting up a website soon - I'll keep you all posted.
I've heard that the latest statistic shows that Alaska has more riders than ant other State per capita - and more female riders as well.

It's a real great place to have a bike - lots of great people.... When I'm not riding I'm shooting tv commercials & cutting radio spots in my studio, so I can afford high octane gasoline!

Catch ya later

Looking forward to the pics. Another forum member is going to Alaska in July, and if memory serves, someone else is up there working for a few weeks.

Glad you introduced yourself, and it's might good to meetcha!

Thanks everyone.

Anyone that may be visiting Alaska - be sure to let me know. I'll hook you up with the locals - and a burger / brew or Coke at my families bar & grill off of the Turnagain Arm.

That's a tempting offer and I sure wish that I could take you up on it. I've always wanted to go to Alaska but just couldn't make it. I have relatives in Palmer that I haven't seen for probably 40-45 years, but I doubt that they would remember me. Thanks anyway, it sure would be fun.
