Default New HD rider from MS

Hello everyone! My name is Sean and I'm from Mississippi. I have been riding motorcycles on and off for twenty five years or so. My son and I left for Texas last week on a 1500 Suzuki Intruder, but ended up coming home on a 2009 Ultra Classic! What a profound difference in ride comfort!

I also own a dirt bike and a Triumph Tiger 1050. I am really hoping to get my wife to ride with me, hence the Ultra Classic.

I have spent a few days lurking and have enjoyed that time greatly. Look forward to chatting with everyone!

Hey everyone! Thanks for the welcome. Deuce, I did manage to get her to ride for about an hour or so the other day. She seemed to be comfortable, but still unsure about the whole thing. I'm gonna keep working on her!

Hey dogsong! I used to live in VA and have family in NC and VA. Nice to meet ya!
