Default Glad I'm Retired

Spendn' too much time on this Harley Forum. Seems to me it could be habit forming. Sure glad I got more time than I used to and don't have anybody lookn' over my shoulder. I have had 17 bikes in my day with only one being a Harley. I now have NONE, however I'm bout ready to "Take The Plunge" and this dad-burn Harley Forum has Got aholt of me and want let go...... Man, in the last few months I have Harleyed myself to death. I want a 06 Glide [yeah, I'm old enough] you young whipper snapper. But with the engine problems I'm reading about [EPA], puts a damper on my 06 spirit, and I do want to make the right choice and at my age I don't want to wait any longer than I have to..[ I want even buy Green bananas]. Oh well, enough of my rattln'. I'm proud to be a "Rubbernecker" and will probably die a "Rubbernecker"................ Who ever said AGE is just a state of mind is STUPID!!! Let's hear it for the "Old Man"
Thanks for your Time...... hdman.....

Welome aboard! You're right, it can be habit forming! If you don't want to deal with the 06 problems, find a low mileage 05 Glide and you're good to go.

Welcome from Bridgeview, IL. I find comfort in the Oliver Wendell Holmes quote in my sig.
Get a Glide and get out and ride.
