Hello folks. I recently purchased my first BT and a lot of the searches was leading me to threads here. I definitely have some questions as I have only had Sportys previously( still have 3). Looking forward to my education here. I will share what I can, but I dont know a whole lot. Ride Safe, Cotton1

Edit: My rides are: 98 883xlc, 99 1200xlc, 06 1200xl, and new to me a 01 FLSTCI

Thanks for the warm welcome all! Larry- I too am bearded. My black beard has started becoming grey/white over the last year or so. I have kept it around 8in for the last 6 years but was thinking about chopping it due to the hue. Can I make it thru this transition?? I dont like windshields or fairing bikes cause it makes my beard blow straight up in my face over like 35 mph.The only solution so far- to steal my daughters hair rubber bands for long rides and to ride every day sans windshield.

Haole- Congrats on retirement! Thank you for your service!!

wyndnface- I dig that springer man, its a beauty!

the wild hog-Thanks for the welcome. Haven't been thru Jacksonville in a while, need to head south again.
