Default Howdy from Colorado

Howdy. So, I've been riding bikes for nearly 45 years and just bought my first Harley (rented several of them, just never owned one before!). It's an '08 FXSTC - I also own a BMW R1200RT I use for long distance touring. I call my Harley "Mid Life Crisis". The bike had just over 9,000 miles on it when purchased last month. It's got lot's of mods, but I want to make it my own. I plan to make her a project bike - change out stuff like bars, fenders, seat, pipes, paint, etc. over the winter and keep it as a cruiser. I've been scanning the site looking for some cool mod ideas - you folks have some crazy-cool bikes out there! I can't wait to dig in and tap some of your experience and expertise!

Anyway, nice to be here!

Rick
