Default Hello

Hello from Richmond,Virginia. I am 58 years old and have ridden bikes all my life since I was about 9 years old. I just got an 05 ultra classic on January 6th.(black of course). I just sold my 99 Heritage which was customized to the max, 6 gallon stretched tanks,custom paint(black with skulls and flames) etc. etc. I swore I would never ever buy a "Geezer Glide" but 5 minutes on the ultra and I didn't miss the old softtail. I've just retired and have alot of trips planned including a 4 week trip around the country in May. So I figured I might as well do it in comfort.
