Hello all! New member from Illinois here. I've been watching the forums for a few weeks and since everyone seems so great and so much knowledge here I decided to join. Still trying figure everything out.

I've got an old '78 Shovelhead chopper, built like in the "old days". Last week I broke down and asked the local dealer to get me an '06 Dyna Street Bob. It hit his floor yesterday and now I'm just waiting for them to get all the extras done for me. I wasn't sure about spending the money on a new bike (I've been ridin the Shovel for about 8 years and old Sporty before that) but after checking out the forums and getting lots of good information, you guys convinced me.

Thanks, I think! and looking forward to a great adventure here.

Bennie

Semper Fi!!

Welcome to the Forums from Louisiana. Enjoy the new Bob. Keep that old school for those weekend bar hopping.

Welcome Bennie,

What part of Illinois are you from. I'm located in Charleston (50 miles S of Champaign on I-57). Be sure to check out the link below in reference to our rally in June.

Terry,

I just moved to Decatur about 6 months ago, up from Southern Illinois. I've already checked out the rally info and looking forward to it. Hopefully see you there, if not out on the road somewhere. I haven't made it over to Charleston yet, Mattoon is as far that way as I have gotten.

Thanks for the welcome and that goes to everyone!!

Bennie
