Hi! My name is Jim.
Wanted to introduce myself. I have been viewing, (lurking) this site for years. I have found the information from, and knowledge of, many of the members very helpful. Been riding for twenty plus years, (with a long break in the middle while raising four kids, and on a tight budget), and on Harleys for the last seven of those. Currently own a 2014 Limited, and love it.
Recently retired from the Restaurant business, and now have more time to pursue interests. Looking forward to meeting some of you as I begin my new adventures.
If anyone interested in a ride ventures through Central, Illinois; please look me up.

Thanks for the welcomes. Now that I have some time, I hope to spend it getting to know more riding, golf, and essential beer sampling
