Default hello everyone

I live in OakLawn Illinois and Iam a new rider with my first bike a 1997 dyna wide glide. my brother has been riding a dyna for aboutseven years I just never could get the money. when my father died two years ago my mom and brother sold his fishing boat and came up with some extra money and bought it for my 40th birthday. it needed some work that I did my self.still is a work in progress, butI think everybody is in the same boat. the bike never is realy done is it?I took the writen tests last year and passed with only one wrong answer. I have been busy this past spring and just recently took the driving test and passed it on my harley on the first try. everyone at the test site wished me luck because it is tough on a harly. It was but I did it. Now I am looking forward to meeting new people as I ride and get to enjoy the wonderful feeling of riding and owning a true american icon.

Welcome to the board from Fort Pierce, Florida. Sorry about the death of your father. Just remember your bike came from his boat... He will be with you as you ride. Enjoy that bike.

As for never really done, I bought my bike new and it is not done.
