Default New guy here

Hi. I been riding for about 36 years non stop, so lets see, that makes me about 51. I currently have 2 bikes. 1983 FLHS and a 1998 Ultra w/ sidecar. I've ridden and owned all types but down the stretch, the last 30 years has been harleys in various forms to include a Buell S2T and a couple old (1968)Triumph 650's. No regrets. Just got rid ofthe Buellafter 12years and many miles of lots of fun.

I am hoping this is a 100% fun place to be. Why? First thing positive thing I noticed is that in youroff topicdiscussion category your rulesstate no politics and no religeon. Smart person whomever establishd that. That sure eliminates alot of potentialhard feelings.Currently belong to but fading from a site where everything is game and its turning into a mess. Its too bad as it is an all inclusive motorcyclesite and for the most part fun. With many very nice people. Also your "new member read first" section is about the way I think about things.

Looking forward to participating here but will spend more time perusing the many different threads and post's for awhile, being as I just came upon this site less then a week ago.

Hoping it works out for the both of us.

Bikes I've owned:

1967 Moto Motorini (italian 3 speed shifter on the handle bars)
1978 yamaha 650
1979 Suzuki GS750L (new)
1981 HD XLS (new)
1983 HD FLHS (new and current)
3 1968 650 triumph tiger cubs
1963 FL
1996 Buell S2T (new)
1998 HD FLHTCUI w/ sidecar (current)
