Default New Old Guy
Hi Y'all. Just Joined on the advice of a very good friend. Seems like a nice place with a lot of good information.

I've been riding Harleys since I bought my first new one(FXB) in '79 when I quit riding the Japanese and European stuff. I have had a bunch including a flathead and and a Pan and no that doesn't make me special. Just mentioningas away of saying I'm not exactly a new guy. I guess I should admit to riding a BMW for 2 years before I came back to Harleys and bought my '07 RoadKing so there is evidence of a character flaw.

See y'all around.
