Default New guy in town!
Howdy Gents!
Just bought my first HD, an '07 Ultra from Dream Machines in Texas. Flying down next Tuesday to ride her home here in Wa. state. Damn boy!, I'm Pumped! I'm 70 this year so I figured I'd better get one while I can still walk! Didn't start riding until I was 60 so I'm just get'n started.
After reading alot of you guys letters, I decided to have some heat shields put on cuz I'll be comin' home via Phoenix, L.A. then straight up the coast. Hear it's pretty hot down south and wanna get out of there before summer hits.
If you guys have any suggestions or ideas I could use I'd truly appreciate hearing from you.
Man, this has been a long time coming and I'm just as happy as a pig in slop!

Happy trails!

L R Gowdy
Longview, WA.
