Default Hello everyone

Merlin here.
Been riding almost as long as I've been able to stand up. Dirt bikes first then many other types. My pops introduced me to HD when I was just a pup and was given rides on them before I could walk. In my late teens, early 70's I had an old kickstart sportster. Kept it awhile till I went into the military. Didn't ride much in the military, to many rules on and off base. Got back into it in 92, bought an '83 ironhead sportster from a brother, still have it but passing it on down to my son. I bought a 2004 FLHTCUI Ultra in 2003. Love it of coarse. I really have issues with all the dealerships here but seem to get around them. This chat really helps out. Thanks All

Welcome Merlin, would be interested in here about those issues since I work for a dealership. Always looking to improve operations as well as customer service.
Ride Safe
