Default New Guy from IL
Been hanging around for a while and realized I never introduced myself, so now I am.

Live in central IL and ride an '06 FLSTNI. I really love the look of the old bikesso the Deluxe just talked to me. I'm one of those dudes who wanted a Harley for too long and have only been riding for 2 years, but have ridden a ton and cant get enough. Best ride to date was 5 days around Ireland last summer with a bunch of my long lost cousins. Rented a Heritage and had a blast. My lady bought an 883 Sporty last summer too. The cold weather here is killing me at the moment.
Look forward to meeting some of you some time.
