Default Just had to do it...........

Well! I went and did it, brought a new 06 Electra Glide Classic.........I just turned 65 and had given up riding about nine years ago. What in the hell gets into a guy when you get as old as I am.......... Oh well, I Had to go and have them put a Stage 1 on it just so it would sound good going down the road (SE slipe ons). For got how much fun it is to ride, even in the cold. Got my 500 miles on it and now am ready to put some real miles on it. See Ya down the road.......
