Hey Everyone, Just wanted to introduce myself. Just getting back on 2 wheels after 20 years. Picked up a real clean 02 Softail for my everyday ride in and out of NYC till it snows. Good to be back in the wind. Hope the weather holds for a while. Here's a quick pic of my son on the bike. More pics to follow.

Thanks everyone. I gotta say being back on a bike after 20 years, somethings have changed. So have I. Dont feel as invincible as I did when I was in my 20's. Roads and traffic in NYC still suck; Traffic is why I got the bike to begin with. This is my first bike with EFI, so far I like it. Need to get reference info on the bike. No owners manual. Its an 02 standard that had 5500 miles on it. I was joking with my son its an FXS'G' not an FXST-G for garaged! Anyway I put about 300+ miles on it since Thurs. Lovin it.
