Default Another one from NC

Hello!

Long time listener, first time caller. I thought it was about time to get on board and start joining in the community. To be honest, have some questions and need some help with a sportster build, which is new territory for me. Hopefully I can provide some insight and help with some folks as well.

Little background, retired military; spent 4 years in the Navy then went into the Army where I retired in 2015. Hit up those over seas joints (Iraq and Afghanistan), jumped out planes, did some other stuff, and had a good time! Ive spent a lot of time around bikes and have been riding for a long time. Just like most, been through a few bikes. Currently in the stable we have a 2021 Street Glide Special, 20221 Low Rider S, 2021 Iron 883, and a 2001 Fat Boy (carb'd). Owned a few Dyna's in the past.

Anyway, looking forward to the knowledge on this board. Thanks for having me!
