...to say "Hello". I am Jerry from Goldsboro, NC. I have not had a HARLEY (or any bike) since 1984. That is the year my first born arrived and changed my life forever. My first HD was a '74 Sportster Chopper with a long springer (Easy Rider)front end. I liked it a lot, but, my 6' 4" frame did not fitwell on the Sportster frame. I sold it to a close friend (he still has it) and bought a new '79 Super Glide (yes - AMF label on the tank). I spentall myspare change turning the AMF into a great looking bike. Then, new wife said if she was going to ride, she wanted more seat to ride on, so, Isold the Glideand bought an '82 Dresser.In 1984, as I mentioned,daughter was born. Bike was traded off (more later) and I was bike-less for the next 23 years.

Anyway...Icould not pass on a great deal on a 2004 BLAZING BONES FATBOY #74 of 200 with lots of extras. I feel "whole" again. I discovered this site looking for BAREBACK saddlebag quick-disconnect hardware. I already have the SISSY BAR/LUGGAGE RACK QD. Ole' BLAZN04 looks best without any of it, but...any suggestions are appreciated. I really do not want to run the bags all the time, but, do need them often.

I am not one to make a comment on every issue that pops up - but, I do not miss a chance to learn as much as I can by watching. It looks like a great place to be!

Jerry
