Default Old guy from Colorado

Howdy. I am 72 and have mostly ridden Goldwings and BMWs. I have decided I NEED either a Road Glide or Street glide while am still able to ride big bikes. So the hunt begins. I have found the search for the right ride is often as much fun (almost) as owning. I have completed several IBA rides including a 48 state in 10 days ride and 1500 miles in 24 hours. Long distance riding may be behind me, but I'm gonna try on a Harley.

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 an 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! ______________
