A warm welcome to the forum and to the life! Ahhhh, the life! I have to admit I wasn't all that crazy about motorcycles myself until only a few years ago. My hubby has always been a fan of motorcycles, especially Harley's. He bought his 1st Harley in the yr 2000. I have since caught the bug and have my own (2002 Fatboy). He bought it for my birthday that year. Well, the rest is history. I have clocked over 45,000 km on it in the last 3 yrs and loving every minute.
Enjoy, and ride safe!

I have a question? How do you keep your ride from being stolen?
When you go riding and stop for a leak, go in to eat, or like me I live in a upstairs apartment.
and I would have to leave my Harley in the unsecured parking lot?
any Ideas? all I do is dream of is owning a nice Bike.

Welcome from Maryland. One thing all of us have in common. "We love to ride."

Thank you ALL. I really appreciate your "welcome to the forums!" This seems like a great place to share HD info., along with riding knowledge and experiences. Look forward to "talking" with you all in the future.

Many of you have probably heard that quotation in my signature before, but a complete stranger (on a HD of course) said that to me as I was waiting for a green light and he was turning right. It just kinda stuck and I sincerely pray that we all always make that statement true. Ride safe. Thanks again for the hearty welcomes!
