Default New from Florida

I just found this forum, not sure how I have missed it before. I have a 1999 FLSTC with 80K miles on it, this is my 3rd Harley. I have owned just about every brand you can think of over the last 40 years of riding, I still have fond memories of my Norton 850 Commando. I started riding street bikes at the age of 15 way back in 1972! My wife has a 2005 XL883L, this is her 3rd street bike and her 1st Harley. I'm glad I came across this forum.
