Default Back in the saddle!

Hey Everyone!

Just wanted to introduce myself to the forum and tell you how thankful I am to be here. In the past I have only ridden a Honda Shadow Aero. Lord willing, I’ll soon take possession of a 2003 Harley Davidson Dyna Wide Glide. I’m so excited for this.
There was a time that I didn’t think I’d ever ride a motorcycle again. In 2019, I was diagnosed with bladder cancer. I thank God for this gift. I say gift because the Lord taught me things about Himself, myself, life, death, and eternity through this journey that I could not have learned any other way.
I am so thankful that the Lord has enabled me to get back in the saddle….and with a Harley!!! I look forward to interacting on this forum and making new friends. God bless you, each one! Hope to see you on the road!

Pastor Charlie

Welcome from North Beach, FL., USA!

Just in case you have not done this.

Add a Signature Line in your USER set up for your bike year, model, and all the letters that Harley recognizes it with so others see at the bottom of all your post. This enables others to know your exact model if you ever ask a question.

And a Avatar of your favorite shot in the USER set up for the small picture others will see in the top left corner of your post.


​​Your all set.... Enjoy the ride! ______________
