Default New Guy here....

Hello All,

Long time rider here, since 1969, but this is the first time crossing over to the "dark side" (read that as the Black & Orange) as my Jap riders friends now call it.

I just purchased my first Harley last week. I fell head over heals w/ the new 2006 Street Glide this last summer and it was true love at first site. It was actually the first Harley that I ever heard SCREAM my name from a distance...LOL!!!

Anyways...it's snowing outside here in Rochester and my new toy is asleep in the garage, but as soon as the roads clear I'm going to get my firt 1000 miles on it so I can make it to Myrtel Beach this year in style.

Later to all....
