Default Hello from Kabul, AF

Hi everyone!!
I have been following this site for about three years and love the great amount of awesome knowledge I have learned from it! This site has already cost me money before even becoming a member. I have a 2010 Road King Classic that I absolutely love and don't get to ride enough. I have been working at the US Embassy in Kabul, AF since the summer of 2009. I'll be finished at the end of this year. I can't wait to get back to VA and ride the tires off my Baby!!!
