Default Long time rider, first time poster.

Hi all !!

Looks like a great place to hang out. I've been riding a 1995 FXSTC Softail Custom since October of 94. Just took delivery of an 06 Electra Glide Classic. Looking forward to hitting the road on the new ride.

Enjoy the ride !

Thanks guys ! I'm from Ohio. About 1 hour north of Dayton. I don't have pictures yet, but new ride is black cherry. Hey Wally, is that a Les Paul I see in that picture ?? Looks like we have more in common than Harleys !! Been playing a Paul since the early 90's.

Hey Tom, welcome aboard!

You may want to change the name though, Rat is the acronym for Riders Association of Triumph. Unless you have or love Triumphs, which personally I do.
