Default Coming back to Florida

Hello all. I’ve been looking in on your section for the last few months and like what I’ve read so far.
I retired from the Air Force after 24 years and am now working in Kuwait as a contractor. I will be coming back to Valrico and am picking up my Road King Classic at Brandon Harley on the 25th of October after completing the Rider’s Edge class. I haven’t been on a bike for over twenty years. My bike used to be my primary means of transpo until I got married and had kids. Anywho, I promised myself I’d get a bike when I retired and that time has come!! The only bad thing is I need to come back to Kuwait until July to finish out my contract, so I am returning the first week in November.
I’d like to take a run with you some time after I get my skills back. What say you?

Bulldog,

Would that put me in the Central Left Coast Chapter with you? Or can I be in the " Central Not As Far To The Left Coast" Chapter?
