Default Newbie from MD

Hello All

So I have arthritis in my hip and had to sell the crotch rocket. I have to admit I was pretty anti Harley.
Went looking at cruisers for the feet forward posture. I realized that all the
Jap bikes are imitations of Harleys. I like American stuff, so I ended up buying an 06 Low Rider.
I know now my life will never be the same! I love this bike. I can't stop thinking about it. I didn't know
I was going to contract a disease. Unfortunately I'm on the west coast this week and my bike is all
alone in the garage back in Maryland. I wanna ride!!!!

It is a disease and the virus is spreading.
