Talking New from the cold CT...

New to the HDforum and new to Harley motorcycles. Rode alot when I was younger . Then I got married and was coerced and cajoled into giving up my bike, a 1971 Honda CB 350-4. But I told my wife that some day I would have another bike. Well I got good deal on a 1993 Honda Nighthawk 750 two summers ago and rode it all summer. Then I sold it and picked up a 2005 Vstar 1100, biggest bike I ever owned. I was pretty happy with it, tricked it out the way I wanted it, but it wasn't a Harley. Happened upon this website www.34motorco.com in Derby CT and found a 2001 Road King Classic. All black and chrome everwhere, stage 2, EFI and I said "Well I guess I found me a Harley !!". Now I can't wait for spring and a chance to put some miles on my new ride !!!!

Congratulation. I just moved up to a Harley 1996 Electra Glide. Been ridding rockets for the last 10 years. Now that I am 50 + I thought I would like to see all the things that went by in a Blurrrrrr.., Waterbury
