Default Newbie.....

Newbie to board....Live in Western North Carolina, near Asheville (also Deal's Gap). Been riding for nearly 4 decades and current ride is a 05 Fatboy. Rode everything from dirtbikes to crotch-rockets and everything in between. I was lucky growing up, my family owned bike shops, mostly Jap bikes, but aleast I was riding.

Will ride with anyone that is responsible and respective to other bikers and enjoy the fellowship. I hope to gain to some valuable information from this site and maybe I can add some knowledge from the school of "hard knocks" on occasion.

Glad to be aboard.......

Pete
