Default Newbie from Kitchener, ON....
I took delivery of an '05 FXD on June 26th and have been reading this forum ever since. Glad I found this place. Seems like a great bunch of guys and gals with a boat load of info. I tend to be more of a reader than a poster in most of the forums I belong to, but once again felt that I should not go on reading and taking pointers from others without at least introducing myself.
I have been riding metric sport bikes for 20yrs. After all those years of laughing at the cruiser riders, especially those owning Harley's, here I am and I have never been happier with my ride. Best part is, after all these years, my wife likes to ride with me again and although I don't put thousands of miles on in a season, two up riding is a pleasure too.
I have one photo posted in the gallery with my "ugly mug".
Ride Safe!

Bike looks great, and thanks for the introduction. Feel free to post, don't worry about it...you've been hanging around long enough to know that there is as much kidding around as serious stuff...

Hey Roger, welcome to the site!

I'm from Ajax, and have a house in Sauble Beach, so I go by your door every week. If you ever want to go for a ride, PM me.
