Hello from Arkansas
Just stopping in to introduce myself. I am John Neihouse from Fort Smith Arkansas and I recently became the proud owner of my first Harley, a 2005 Ultra Classic Shrine edition. I am 62 years old and owning an Electra Glide or variant thereof has been a dream ever since I saw a full page color advertisement for and Electra Glide in one of the bike mags when I was about 10 years old. I've owned and ridden bikes all of my adult life but there always seemed to be something standing in the way of me realizing that dream. Work, family, three children plus raising our oldest granddaughter, sending them all to college always seemed to force me to settle for something less. This past March I was visiting with a client who restores and sells vintage bikes and shared with him my "bucket list" bike. He opened his phone and went to craigslist and the first bike that popped up was the Ultra Classic I now own at a price that seemed too good to be true. Long story made shorter, I made arrangements to see the bike and bought it on the spot. It's been a blessing. Of all the big cruiser/touring bikes I've owned this is clearly my favorite. Look forward to reading through the fourm.
