Default HELLO HARLEY WORLD

Just wanted to say, I have been reading this forum for the last couple of weeks. I have finally seen the light, I was one of those obnoxious fools on a crotch rocket that would speed up and blow past you guys on purpose. I had a tricked out ZX9 with everthing except N20..
I have since sold it. Been without a bike for awhile. Going thru divorce...blah blah blah...
Bottom line is my long time friend who has always been into Harleys. (Dad is one of the head dudes of Storm Riders) purchased a 03 Road King...I asked him to let me ride it..and let me tell you, WAAAAAY different than a crotch rocket as far as posture and comfort. I mean seriously. It was PERFECT!! Laid back, comfortable, the sound was great. I got the ole bug. What in the hell was I thinking...Anyway just wanted to say howdy, and this forum is full of ALOT of helpful guys and gals...
Looking forward to getting a Road King or a Road King Classic. After I pay off the ole ex-wife I will have zero...so it might take a few months

My next bike will be an annoying crotch rocket. I had to get the Harley first though.

Cool. I had owned everything but Harley over 20 years. Finally started with a Sportster last year and moved up to an SG a couple of months ago. You'll love it. The people are cool too.

Had many bikes over the years, loved them all. One of my all time favorites was the 1997 Honda Blackbird! Talk about lighting a fuse and shot out of a cannon...wow. Welcome aboard!!

Divorce made me the man I am today-Broke and Destitute!
For my first divorce, I bought a Corvette. For the second divorce, I bought another Corvette anda Harley. Ya gotta do it, son. It does wonders for the soul!
