Talking Hello from MidWest
Hello All

I used to ride many years ago, sold the old Honda when my son was born way back in 76. I recently got re-aqainted with the riding bug. Bought an 09 Heritage Classic, and I'm loving it. The wife is giddy planning weekend trips for this fall. I'll be perusing these forums to glean any and all the info, hints, advice, etc I can from you more experienced riders. I'll pop a question or two from time to time, but mostly just monitoring and learning.

Thanks 1Bulldog. I have some Texas ties myself. I have relatives in Wichita Falls, San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston areas. Thinking about retiring in the Hill Country. Texas is a lot more retirement friendly than the MidWest is, not to mention many more riding days per year.
