Default hello

Hello

Just saying hi. I will be picking up my new 15th anniv Fatboy in a week or so. I traded a V-Rod for it. I know I will miss it but I am sure I will enjoy the new Fatty. It is nice to have forums like this with all this knowledge so newbees like me can ask questions and get proper answers that some of the dealers cant. I live in southern Alabama right now but I move around alot. I've been in the Military so moving is something I am used to. Power and Torque is something I deal with in my new job (helicopter pilot) so I love to deal with it on Harleys also. I am hoping someday to retire and really get into a V-twin engine. I have a passion that I am sure many of you folks can understand.
Thanks in advance for the help cause I know I'll need it and I hope I can contribute also. Later.

-----Chris
