Howdy, I have been reading the various section for the last couple of days and decided to join. Hadn't ridden in almost 20 myrs and decided to get back into it. I had forgotten how much I missed riding. Spent 6 months looking at new and used and finally said F-IT!.
Put some cash down in January and will take delivery of an 06 Street Bob next week. It will be another month or so til I can ride with our weather in Buffalo, NY. GREAT SITE, thanks, Mako[sm=crossbonesgif.gif]
