Default Pittsburgh, Pa new here and 2 years on a Harley
Came across this forum a few days ago. I'm not a social media or online guy, but glad I found this place. I ride a 2010 Street Glide Special, picked it up 2 years ago, first Harley I have owned and first bike after not riding for 15 years. Feels good to be back in the wind. I ride before I drive. Already picked up some great info from here. Thanks

Hmmm. Didn't find any direct messaging. Looking for your thoughts on a bike shop in your area. My bike broke down there a week ago. My e-mail is whiskey59er@gmail.com or my cell 724.272.8721. Thanks Dave
