Default Howdy, folks!

Just joined the forum, and wanted to say, "Hi."

Not new to biking, but I have been away from it for a bunch of years. Used to race MX and desert back in the 70's on Maico motorcyles. I also rode Triumphs and Kawasaki Z1 for fun on the pavement. Always wanted a HD Sportster, so this week I went out and bought one! Wife calls it a "mid-life crisis" but I call it a blast!

Hi, Ladyglide. Small world! I spent 25 years in Alaska. Mostly in the Yukon-Kuskokwim area working in rural schools there. I relocated to NM to thaw out! Loved Alaska, and still have many friends up there.

Regards.
