Default New Guy in Town
Hey all. I'm a second-generation Harley owner from Southern Indiana and I've been riding motorcycles since I was a little kid. I got my first Harley (1976 SS 250) when I was 12 and I still have it. I've been riding an '81 Sportster for the past couple of years and I finally got myself a brand new Softail Custom. It's like I'm a little kid all over again.

I've been reading this forum for about a week and I thought it was time that I became a part of the community.

Thanks and I'll see you guys around.
