Default Aaaand another new guy...
Seems like there's a new guy posting here every few hours so here's my go. I'm new to this forum, but not new to Harleys or riding. I just bought an 05 Softail Deluxe on Sunday and over the next few days we're supposed to get anywhere from 6 to 10 inches of snow. My timing is just awesome.

I've had 2 v-twin sportbikes and an 03 Sportster before this bike, but it was time to upgrade to the big leagues. I'm too damn tall (6'2") for anything smaller than a Softail.

I look forward to listening to everyone's words of wisdom and maybe someday we'll see one another on the road. Take it easy.

Woody

Welcome Woody!

Here in sunny Florida I rideA LOT without worrying about that white stuff falling outta the sky!!!!

Rode so much last weekend that I had to go see my chiropractor!!!!

You will find tons of stuff and helpful people on this forum...I just joined yesterday and already I've gotten tons of great info.

If you're ever in FL drop a line...we'll ride.

Have fun and ride safe!
