Default Greetings from Bavaria

Hi everyone,
My name is Jason and I am a retired Soldier living and working in Germany that rides a 2008 FLHTC. I do all of my own maintenance and services on my bike arguably some projects haven't gone well but for the most part I'm able to keep my bike on the road. I Love HD motorcycles and enjoy talking shop about issues.
