Default Noob in Iraq

I have been lurking for a while now and thought I would drop a quick note to introduce myself. My name is Robert and I am currently presiding in Iraq for approximately one more month. I am with the 101st ABN DIV but will be heading to FT Sam Houston for my next assignment so I will be in the San Antonio area shortly.

I have been riding for close to 20 years now and have had my Chopper for the past few. Just last week my wife surprised me and went to the Harley Dealership and purchased a 2003 RoadKing that Is now waiting for my return in the garage next to the Chopper. What a great woman, huh. She knew that I wanted something bigger that we could both take trips on and this was what I had talked about for a while now. I can’t wait to get home and start putting a few miles on it, even if it is winter. That has never stopped me before.

I am looking forward to getting to know a few fellow riders on here and going on a few runs when I get to San Antonio. Also looking forward to getting ideas and help with customizing this bad boy to make it all mine.

Thanks in advance,
Rob

Below are some pics of my rides.
