Default Hi from the Yooper

Hi! I am the Yooper that now lives in Nebraska. I owned a HD when in High School - that is whenthey were owned by AMF. Went to college, got a job (yuk!), got married and raised a family. I turned 53 this year and decided it was time to get myself a toy. So I bought a used 94 Sportster in pristene comdition from a private owner here in Omaha. I found out my wife wanted to rtide it as much as me and the bike was TOO small. So two months after buying it I went to the local HD dealer and traded it for a 2001 FLHCTUI! I am still getting my sea legs back after so long, but I love it!

Glad to be here!
