Default Hello

Hello all,

I'm Tim and I'm new to the forum, obviously. I'm fairly new to Harleys, bought my 2010 Wide Glide April last year and haven't looked back. I've been riding for a few years now, mostly dirt bikes and quads, but before the Harley I also had a 2001 Honda CBR 600F4i sport bike. I still llove riding sport bikes, but I love the comfort and sound of my Harley better.

As for me, I'm married and have 2 kids. We're originally from Indiana, but call home where ever the Army takes us. I've been active duty for 14 years and plan to do 20 years and retire. We're looking at possibly retiring in NC. Currently I'm stationed at Ft. Campbell, KY and live in Clarksville, TN.

My hobbies and interests are my bike, quad, truck, and most importantly family. When I'm not riding, I'm reloading ammo, building guns, shooting guns, hunting (both gun and bow), and hanging out with the fam. They all enjoy shooting and archery as much as me, so our summers are filled with that. I'm a diesel mechanic in the Army and am into anything mechanical, so I hope to pass on any knowledge I may have that could help someone else, but also seek any knowledge that could help me.

Airborne All The Way!!!

Tim
