Default Just another new guy
Hello everybody,I am a new Harley owner in NC. I intended to buy a bike and enjoy riding with my brother in a few years after my daughter is out of college. As fate would have it I acyually won a 2005 Fatboy in December. I feel like the luckiest guy around.

I can`t wait until Spring when I can enjoy riding around the western Carolina mountains.For now Iam taking advantage of every possibly riding day to complete the break in process. 800 miles and counting.

Welcome to the forum Gary,

Wow, you won a bike. That's great. I love North Carolina and have a brother in Winston Salem. I've ridden all over that state once or twice.

You picked a great forum to join. The members here are friendly and knowledgeable. Stick around and have some fun with us.

Congrats are in order, Good for you. Harleys have become a popular prize with contracting suppliers every year. A lot of guys just sell them because they dont ride. Nice to see a rider get one.
Copperfields is giving away another one for 06. Nice Yellow Road King Custom.
Oh and BTW...Welcome from the snowy state of CT.
