Default new kid on the block

Actually OLD FART on the block.

I just joined but have been lurking for awhile.Have gotten some great info from all of you and wanted to be able to join in the discussions.

I am 54 and currently ride a 89 springer.Love the look but the old bod gets a little beat up on the long hauls.Starting to look at baggers as I rented a street glide in Colorado and loved it.

Hope all is well with you all

Mike

Welcome from central Washington. Sunshine 3oo+ days a year. You don't look too beat up. Damn nice bike. Keep what you got, take shorter rides and more of them.
