Default Formal Introduction

Greetings from Northern California. I've been hanging around the BT forums here for a couple of years with a few posts but thought I would formally introduce myself now. I will retire this month after 31 years as an LEO. I'm on my 4th Harley (2 BTs and 2 XLs). In April I moved to an 07 Sportster from an 86 FXRD. I've decided to settle here, as this forum appears to have more posts regarding tech and riding issues rather than posts about "appearances". I don't care how others view my choices and I don't need to be "noticed" anymore. Looking forward to learning about my new fuel injected bike from you veterans. Thanks for having me-I hope!

P.S> I'll try to get a picture in a shortly.

Doug
