Default Introduction

Bike Background:
Hello everyone! I am 21 from WV and my name is Chad Engle. I have been riding bikes since I was the age of 12. I bought my first HD at age 18 (hence the name) I took a HD motorcycle safety program and got my motorcycle license at 18. My dad got me into HD's. I am into cars and bikes and was into crotch rockets until I bought my HD. Dad has been through 2 and I am still on my first. I have a 2003 XL1200C 100th Anni. Sportster. When I was looking at getting my first bike I tried to find something that was low mileage and good looking. I searched for about 3 months and finally found my bike. Recently, my dad and I went to WY and rented HD's. We rented two road kings and went by the Grand Tetons. We picked out bikes up in Idaho Falls, Idaho. This trip was a blast. I have plenty of pics of the trip. I have garaged my bike all its life and take tremendous care of it.
Little about Me:
I am a Graphic Design major at Marshall University. This is my final semester in college and I am ready to get into the real world. I am excited to join this board. I have been on several car boards before. I am into cars very much. I have a Honda s2000. White with black and red interior.

Anyway, theres my book for the day. Nice to meet you all. Oh yea heres some pics!
