Default New Guy Here

Ok, so I'm new here.&nbsp\\;I have loved Harley's all my life. In 1961 my brothers and I owned a Harley 165.&nbsp\\;We also owned a 1940s Indian.&nbsp\\;I wish we still had it.&nbsp\\;Don't know&nbsp\\;where it ended up.&nbsp\\;I have toured the Milwaukee plant, the York plant and have collected Harley shirts&nbsp\\;for years.&nbsp\\; My favorite shirt is the 2004 Great Falls, Montana&nbsp\\;Harley Dealer shirt featuring Lewis and Clark and their Harley.&nbsp\\; My favorite slogan is "I'd rather see my&nbsp\\;sister in a&nbsp\\;whorehouse than my brother on a jap bike."&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
Sometime this year I will own a new Street Bob.&nbsp\\;Why that model?&nbsp\\; I like it.&nbsp\\; It looks good. It's on my bucket list and it will happen.
&nbsp\\;
My other favorite toy is my 1962 Ford Galaxie 500/XL convertible.&nbsp\\; Check out&nbsp\\;my web site at www.62ford.com/registry&nbsp\\;

I believe&nbsp\\;in "America, love it or leave it."&nbsp\\; "Support the country you live in, or live in the Country you support."&nbsp\\;
Anyway, that's me and my thoughts.&nbsp\\; Glad to have found this forum.
&nbsp\\;
