Default Hello from SoCal

Hello all... long time lurker, first time poster.

I'm new to the forum but no stranger to bikes. When I lived in New England, I was on the road daily during the (too short) riding season... either on my Bicentennial-edition Sportster or (gasp!) Yamaha 1100. Well, my twin daughters were born in 1983 and I sold both bikes shortly thereafter. We're empty nesters now, so I figure it's time to get back in the saddle again!

I've been amusing myself for the past few years with a hi-po Corvette (balanced & blueprinted 402cid stroker motor, coilovers, etc.). Within the next 60 days I plan on getting an '07 or '08 Low Rider or Night Train.

A lot has changed during the years I've been away (Harley was still AMF back then), so I'll be looking to learn from the locals and folks I meet here.

-Bob
