Default Greetings from TX!
Currently own a 2001 Hayabusa.

Getting too old for the sportbikes.

Looking to buy my first HD. Not sure of the year/model, but hopefully through the forum I can gain insight into the perfect model for me.

Been into the hot rod and bike scene most of my life. Was in telecom for 30 years and after getting laid off, decided to focus on starting my own business. Started a custom embroidery business in 2004 and specialize in car/motorcycle items.

Looking forward to gaining knowledge from you all.

John
