Default Hello from Chicago....... (west suburbs)

Just wanted to stop by and introduce myself... I'm Scott. Took the MSF course last July at 32 years old and caught the bug.. put a thousand miles on a Honda Shadow and then sold it right before winter. Shopping all winter for a new bike, wasn't sure where I was heading. Took a trip to Ft. Lauderdale the first week of February and rented a Fat Bob - had a blast. Wanted to buy one but decided I couldn't lose with the Ride Free promotion so I picked up a new Iron.. got to break it in a few hundred miles on Thursday/Friday before the Chicago weather went back in the tank. Anyway been reading a lot on the site and look forward to participating... Thanks...
