The name is Jeff and I reside in the garden state of New Jersey. Home of silver queen corn and the best damn tomatoes in the country. Just thought I would finally post and say hi! Glad to be here! Been a member of the forum since June of this year. Have learned a ton by reading the different topics and posts. The info at this forum has helped me get educated and finally make up my mind and pull the trigger on my first cruiser. A Harley 2003 Road King Classic. Have been riding crotch rockets for 15 years now. My current one being a Honda CBR1100xx. Still love that bike especially when I have a need for speed which happens every now and then. But now I have the best of both worlds. I look forward to slowing down a bit, cruising on my harley and stopping to smell the roses.
