Default Hello From Kansas
I've been lurking around here for a while now. Thought I might as well say hi. I've been riding for 25 years, always wanted a Harley but never had the green. Kids are grown and decided to bite the bullet. Got an '09 Road King Classic a few weeks ago and put a "no wifes allowed" seat on it. My wife and I then started going to Harley shops, buying shirts, chrome and leather, and got to talking about how uncomfortable my Kawasaki Vulcan was to ride on for two-up. Last weekend we went to look for me a new helmet and saw a new Root Beer Ultra. I started begging, you know how that goes. Long story short, they are supposed to deliver it Friday.

Anyway, I'll be hanging around learning all I can from you folks.
