Default New to HDForums -- New Bern, NC

Hello all, I am obviously new to HD Forums and figured I'd introduce myself...

I just picked up my 09 Street Glide on November 1st. Iv'e been riding for quite a few years though...previous bikes include '83 FXWG, '01 FXSTDI, and '07 FXSTB. I've always been more of a "watcher" to all the different forums, but now that I feel I might have some good knowledge to contribute every now and then...I figured I would actually register and introduce myself. This site seems like it has some good knowledgeable folks in it...

As far as personal stuff goes...I'm a Marine Gunnery Sergeant stationed at Cherry Point, NC. Been stationed several places in the past on both coasts and of course overseas, and done a lot of riding most places I've been. Lucky to have a wife that's always bugging me to pull the bike out and hop on the back. Three kids, all girls (*&!?&%). Two are already out on their own and the other is old enough to fend for herself, so we're always looking for new riding partners...if you're in the area give me a shout.

Many mods to come....
