Hi everyone my name is Dieter. I live in /Connecticut and was a member about 4 years ago. My interest are riding of course, ice hockey and I am a career firefighter by trade. I own two Haley's now. My original 2001 Dyna which you can see on my page, and a 2005 Roadking Classic.
Everyone has been very helpful in the past, and I just wanted to get back to chatting with the members again. I have been riding now for about 6 years and love every minute of it.

Get an owners/shop manual. Change your own oil. Check the tires.(only 12 yrs old and 6500 miles) but look for cupping and cracks. Change plugs (cheap stuff). Check all the nuts and bolts.
Then ride it like you stole it.
Welcome from Ct.
