Here to say Hello
Just found the forum and wanted to say hello. I'm Steve from Carnation, Washington, with a 2000 Wide Glide pained Bumblebee yellow n black. I don't ride much in the rain, and seeing how it's rained for 814 straight days here, I thought I could at least find somebody here to talk bikes with.[sm=biker2.gif]
Man, this is a big forum. I feel like I just walked into a stadium full of bikers.

RE: Here to say Hello
Yup, just like that one. Ever seen one that's the opposite? Yellow on black? I think that was early nineties. I pulled up next to a black guy on one of those once, and it occurred to me that if he'd been wearing white leather, we'd be a photo negative of each other.

RE: Here to say Hello
Welcome! Love the FXDWG too! However, being from Alaska for 25+ yrs now, I've learned that if you don't plan to... camp, hunt, hike, fish, or RIDE[sm=grinangel.gif] ect..... In the rain, you don't get to do it very often at all.[>:]and we only have 5-6 good riding months here. So I did do some wet riding this last summer, and it wasn't as bad as I thought. ('cept for the hail surprize, when a fellow rider asked, and I quote "ever been swimmin' on your Harley?" and was NOT exagerating!) Another time on our planned trip (12+ riders) to Seward for lunch/dinner (300miles+rnd-trip) upon which it rained most of the way[:'(], I just rode only as fast as I felt comfortable,(>65-ish hwy spd) and made sure I knew where the next stop was in case I fell behind.(and I did) Some of the front guys were doin' 75+ on wet curves with "wet-spray" visibility issues (da#@ tour busses)[:@] That's when I told myself, "I know where Seward is, and I'm gettin' there, and back, ALIVE!"
