Hello from Texas...
Hello HD Forums. Doing this a little backwards, first post was in FLST threads.
So new to Texas, from AZ originally, then lived in So. Cal. for a decade. Had a '92 FXD for over 15 years & rode a lot of dirt on everything from an old 2-stroke Husq to Yammy Honda & Suzi. Long story short, catastrophic wheel failure coming off a big double in the desert & broke a lot of stuff in my body & was off two wheels for a few years.
So, moved to Texas & picked up a new FLSTN to Cholo out.
Always been lone wolf, but lately been thinking would like to find a MC or RC in the DFW area for some longer rides & event/rally trips. Since I don't know many riders here, I thought I'd start with a local HOG chapter, but after several meet ups I quickly discovered I was typically by far the youngest guy in the room & I ain't that young. I got nothing but respect for the old timers still riding, would absolutely ride with them on occasion, but would also really like to ride with some younger & dumber not afraid to twist the stick or skip a rest stop or two on occasion. Just talking 99%'ers, maybe 10 years ago that would be different, but I actually really enjoy my job & work on sensitive projects requiring SC/TSC from time to time.
I thought maybe there'd be a thread for groups I'm the forums somewhere, but every search comes back with a lot of threads of people asking questions about or discussing 1%'ers. If you know of any good groups in the DFW area or any other site or hangouts in the area, would appreciate the heads up.
