Soooo. how do you start this off?
My first bike was a 2003 ZX9r.... Yeah I know...
That was 2003. I put 65k miles on that thing in 4 years. Took it from North Texas to Cali and up the west coast and back on one particular trip. Decided I was more into long miles than sporting around town. Decided to trade it in for a Honda Saber that I kept for 2 years, ok bike, but never really felt "right" on it.. . Sold it and have not been on a bike for 10 years.
Recently I got the itch again. Started looking for ultra's and ended up finding a 2014 Ultra limited with low miles and took the plunge. First Harley, pretty much bone stock.
So the plunge back in has not been toooo painful. Need some more experience with it, but its coming back pretty fast. REALLY enjoy this bike though. Wife is eager to jump on the bike... That will come in time after I get some confidence miles underneath me.
Still new to this forum and already learning some cool tips. One I read was about creating a notebook to keep up with everything I buy and do to the bike... Great advice...
So that's my Hello/wave from North Texas (Fort Worth area)..
