Smile Glad to be aboard

My name is Ray, but I go by Redrazor on most forums that I've participated in.
Really like your site, and the valuable information that I've picked up just browsing for the last few months.

My '07 Street Glide is my third HD since I turned 50 about 12 years ago. My first Harley was a '92 Softail Heritage that I bought used and put over 30k miles on over 5 years. I bought an '03 Anniversary V-rod in late '03, and put over 30k miles on it in 4 yrs; and had a blast with it. Best motor I ever worked on or studied in my 40+ years as a mechanic. (mostly heavy equipment and trucks).
Got remarried a couple of years ago, and the new wife really likes to ride; so I sold the V-rod (not that fun with 2-up), and bought the Street Glide.

We love this bike to death, and have made many changes to accommodate my short legs (I'm only 5'4"). I'm semi-retired, so I get to ride quite often, and have about 11k on this one after only 13 months.

Looking forward to watching and participating in some of your discussions.

Keep up the good work,
