Default Hello from RI

Hey guys new to the forum obviously. Just stopped by to let you know I bought my first Harley last may, a 2008 Crimson Red Denim Street Bob. Until now it has been bone stock with the exception of a few cosmetic changes, smoked lenses and smoked led tailight.

A little background I live in Rhode Island (no it is not part of New York, thats Long Island). I recently decided to go with big radius pipes, heavy breather intake, and a Screaming Eagle race tuner. I am a little concerned it is over the top.

Anyway I have been making the pilgrimage to Laconia, NH since I got my last bike, a 2002 Suzuki Volusia, VL800. I must admit I was a non-believer but I was forced to take a ride on a 2007 Fat Boy last year and I was hooked. Consequently, I repaid the favor to a friend who inturn bought an 08 X bones.

Anyway, thanks for having me,

RIde safe,

Welcome from Central Mass. If you go up 495 to Laconia honk the horn at exit 24 and I might hear it. Have fun.
