Default New kid on the block
I'm from Virginia. Bought an '05 Night Train in July. Owned my last bike in 1975. 30 years was long enough to wait. If you ever see me
on the road, I'm easy to spot. My plate reads ..... 30YRW8

Howdy, welcome to the forum. Congrats on the NT and getting back into riding. Your story sounds familiar, I had a 25 year period between my last bike and my new Harley. Enjoy the ride.
