new guy here
Hi all,
Michael here, checking in...
Rode dirt bikes as a kid, started riding street a few years ago. My first cruiser was a Vulcan 800. Now riding a nice 2000 XL1200C that my new bride brought with her.
We enjoy taking the Sportster out 2-up - day trips and occasional longer road trips... always looking for new routes to explore. It's also a nice commute option when the weather cooperates.
Recently upgraded with a Sundowner touring seat and Progressive 412s.
Looking forward to hanging out here from time to time.
Michael

Silverdale/Bremerton area... Yes, I'm very familiar with those places. Hoping to do the Canal loop soon, and perhaps the Olympic Peninsula loop.
We've taken a couple of longer trips this year - North Cascades Highway/Winthrop/Grand Coulee/Moses Lake/Leavenworth/Chelan -and- Mount Rainier/Yakima (yikes - Highway 12 was in really sorry shape).
