Hello,

My name is Dave, I live in the High Desert of California.

I have always admired the throaty growl of a large CI V twin. I don't own a Harley Davidson but I would like to. I want to gather as much information about them as I can.

I am looking forward to hearing the wisdom of the members of this forum.



Thank you.



Dave

Hey Dave I live in the same place. The high desert of CA. Looks like there are two of us newbies from the same area.
