All ready read the newbie stuff...good info. I'm originally from NC, but I've been stationed in SC for the last nine years (Air Force). I bought a shiny new Springer Classic about a year ago and I'm lovin' it. I'll post some pics (of the bike, not the wife...just yet anyway) when I figure out where the wife hid all of them.
