Default Hello from North Carolina

Hi Everybody,
New member, new to Harley ownership. Started riding five years ago at the ripe young age of 58 and really enjoy it: first Bike Honda VTX1300T. Never thought I would buy or ride a Harley. Sat on a new (2016) Limited Low at a local dealership, and that was that. Only have 670 miles on the new bike, and so far it is really nice. A little on the heavy side, but that I will get used to. Definitely a lot of bike, very comfortable, and rides really nice. Anywho saw some savvy info on here and thought I would join.
