Hi, this looks to be a great group of harley riders and those that wish they were riding right now.
I'm glad I found the site.
I'm 52, married (30years) same women, we have 2 sons one died (forever 18) and a daughter we also have 4 grandsons that are 4 months, 2 years, 3 years and 9 years old.
We live in New hampshire on the CT River. It's about an hour from Laconia, 2 hours from Lake George, NY, about 2 1/2 hours from Boston and about 4 hours from Montreal, Canada.
I have 2 harleys, a bought '97 Heritage Springer with 60k and a bought new '03 Ultra Classic with 40k. I sold 3 other harleys that I had a '90 FLHS an '85 FLT, and a '72 xhch." Been ridding since I was a kid. Not all were Harley, but when I was eight I had a ride on a harley and knew then the I was going to have one and as luck would have it, I've now owned 5 beautful harleys.
nuff about me, you'll figure it all out as I make my posts and ask questions and such.
Thanks for letting me come on board.

Welcome Chappy,

Sounds like you are an experienced harley guy. There are quite a few of us old guys here that have been riding harleys for years and years. I'm sure you will be able to contribute some valuable info here. Stick around and have some fun with us.
