Default Howdy!
Greetings, all. I just got my 1st Harley--'03 XL 1200. It's my 5th or 6th bike but is going to end up being my favorite. I live in Pittsburgh, PA. The riding in the city ain't great 'cause of the potholes that'll swallow a bike, but the surrounding countryside is beautiful.

Pete

Only too true about the surrounding countryside. Amish country is beautiful out there. Especially when you get into the Grove City and Westminster areas. Hope you enjoy the forum.

Welcome...The one place in PA that sticks out in my head is Intercourse PA. I was LMAO when I saw the welcome to Intercourse sign. Then I passed the Intercourse Motel and I almost lost it.
