Default Hello From Kentucky

Hi.
I rode my first Harley back in 1959 at the tinder age of nine years old. After riding that olive drab green machine a total of one block, I put it in a ditch, while trying to get turned around. Even though I owed several other bikes over the next few years I wasn't on a Harley until about six moths ago. Now I’m the proud owner of a 2005 Road King Classic. Harley has made lots of improvements since my Dads old Harley service cycle. I’m proud to have found such a great forum and am looking forward to being part of it.
Ed

Welcome from Illinois. I grew up in Carbondale, and used to go to Paducah quite a bit!

Very nice bike, btw!
