Another "new, old" rider...
I've been hanging around the Sportster site and was directed to this section by cHarley. (Thanks!)
A little background. My wife and I used to ride together, she on her Sporty and me on my Fatboy back in the early 90's. We had been married for about 5 years with no kids. We rode to Daytona bike week in '96, and that's when our son was conceived. We ended up selling both bikes, cause we couldn't find time to ride together anymore, and bought him a prepaid college fund with the money. Flash forward to the present. I drove past a used Sporty in a guys driveway with a for sale sign on it. Stopped, took a ride, and ended up buying it. The wife then got the bug and found a used 883, so now we're riding together again, with the boy on the back of mine, and having a ball. Anyway, looking forward to meeting a few more members in the future.

Welcome, I know the feeling, took a twenty year break because of kids and poverty. Trying to make up for lost time now.
