Default New Guy
I just wanted to say Hi, and that I am glad to be here. I just picked out my new ride yesterday. This is the first bike I've had in over 20 years. Old bike was a Honda CB500-4 1972. I sold that bike when I moved to Houston in 1977. I have been looking for over a year for something to ride and found a 2003 Classic yesterday. The bike was maintained perfectly and looks like new. I'm an old guy 64, retired and wanted to start riding again so here I go. I won't be able to pick up the bike for a few days due to weather but am sitting on pins and needles for the day. Sense this is my first Harley I will be doing a lot of research and asking questions about it, thank God for the internet.
