Default Hello from Baldwin, MI

Great forum guys! Just found it a few days ago and did a few searches finding some very useful info, hope to be able to contribute something to someone else as well.
&nbsp\\;
Started riding as a kid and got away from it after an accident that put me in a cast for a year back in 87, (No problem with getting back on, but bike totaled, no insurance for new one, broke at the time, etc...)
&nbsp\\;
Had a bro that died of cancer early last year and I simply couldn't stand the thought of some stranger&nbsp\\;riding his bike (Read here, pride and joy.) so I bit the bullet and bought it off his girl. Still cant figure out how I went so long without one, but once I got on it was like I'd never gotten off!
&nbsp\\;
Not much riding time up here in North West&nbsp\\;Michigan, but I've managed to put 14,000 miles on it since last summer between a few great trips and almost daily rides around here. Just bought my wife a 2003 Heritage Softail Classic and she's loving it as well, we should have done this a while ago as it's one of the only things we now both love to do together. (Who needs marriage counseling! &nbsp\\
&nbsp\\;
At any rate, I won't go on and bore you, just wanted to introduce myself and stop just trolling.
&nbsp\\;
