Default A HasBeen, Maybe Wannabe

Last bike I rode was a FLT. Blockhead and rubber glide. Yeah, it had a carburetor. Was road captain for the New Orleans HOG in '87 to 90. Sold scoot in '91 to move to Puerto Rico.

Fast forward to today

Yesterday saw the FLSTSB. May get the bug again.

Welcome from Seattle! Keep us posted on your decision. My guess is you will be posting a pic of your new ride in no time!
