Howdy folks,

Found this forum while stumblin' around the 'net, looks like a good place to hang around. I've been riding Harleys since I was 18, man that was a long time ago, I still remember some of those days!!

Why 2glides you ask? Well, I've got a '77 FXE Superglide I've owned for three decades and an '06 Streetglide I've ridden for a couple of years now. There have been several before and between, sure wish I'd kept that '50 FL! Too soon old, too late smart as grandma used to say.

Jim

Welcome from Atlanta. Another great one: "Youth is wasted on the young." I've got three kids, so I know.
