Default Just saying Hello.

Hello,

I just joined the forum and the "Family". Thursday night I brought home an 06' Softail Deluxe. It's Vivid Black, and I had the front sliders and tins replaced with the chrome ones. I also added the Nostalgic smoked windsheild and the one piece sissy bar. I'm already putting together the list of next items. The touring pillion and floorboards for my wife are the first items.

It's been over twenty years, when I was in college, since I've ridden, so I'm taking it slow. I plan on taking the MSF course as soon as one's available this spring.

I'm not new to forums as I have three classic Mustangs and I check out two other forums each night. One is the Vintage Mustang Forum, and California Special.com. I have a 65' Mustang coupe, a 67' Mustang coupe, and a 68' Mustang California Special that I take to car shows.

From what I've seen the past two days of lurking is that everyone on this forum is just as friendly and knowledgable as the other forums I visit. Looks like I'll feel right at home.

Merry Christmas,
Mike

Thanks guys for the welcome to the site.

Mac, I see you're in Ruston, La Tech. I'm from New Orleans, moved to St. Louis about three years ago. Every winter, I wish I was back home.
