Default New kid on the block

Thought I would start off here as the new kid on the block, to introduce myself. My latest bike is a 2004 FLHTCUI, black, 1 year old with 30k under her belt, and with the S/E 103 CI upgrade kit installed before I picked her up. I average 30k p/year riding and my last scoot was a 96 FLHTC that I sold with 156k in 2004. J. Renee' was a great bike that was still on the orig. engine and belt. Clutch plates looked good at 130k but the brass rivets gave out so new clutch plates were installed. Hope to get the same distance out of the new scoot as well.
I am retired US Navy and now work for the DON repairing Navy ships. I ride to work everyday and had no cage of my own until last month. Guess that is all about me, oh yea, I joined in the hope of meeting new friends and riding partners plus getting up to date answers for questions as they come up.

Tim,

Welcome to the forum. You will meet some really great people here. The forum is full of friendly and knowledgeable members. Just put yourself out there and join in on some of the threads. Sounds like you've got a great bike. I have the 95 in motor but would love to have the 103.

Stick around and have some fun with us.
