Default Hello Everyone

Thanks for opening the doors and allowing me in. I recently purchased a 2009 Ultra Classic (Go Big or Go Home), I'm now looking forward to summer and some quality time on the road.
This is the first bike I've owned in over 30 years, I sold my bikes (3) when my wife became pregnant for my oldest son who is now 32 years old so as you all can imagine I ready to ride again.
Indiana born and I still live here today, I served in the US Army in the late 70's early 80's but came right back home to my roots.

Again, Thanks for add.
