Thumbs up Another New Guy

Hey Everyone!

First time on the forum. I happened to find it when I was googling handle bar speakers. Great site they have here. I look forward getting to know everyone and sharing info and talking BS. How long has this site been up and running?

Anyway, I've been riding for 18 yrs give or take. Started on a 76 chopped out sporty then various others...and now in a 2005 FLHRC - Black Cherry Pearl. I was out of riding for 5 yrs prior to 2005. Wife and I decided to have a couple kids ya know. So, back in March 2005 my wife says we should get another bike...WOHOO...So now I'm back in the saddle and loving it once again. My bike is basically all stock besides V&H Dresser duals and Oval slip-ons with PCIIIUSB. Plus a bunch of add on's

We're taking a trip down around deals gap this year with some friends. Really lookin forward to this trip...It's been awhile since we went on our last motorcycle trip. Anyone have any suggestions on places to go in the area I'm all ears...I mean eys...LOL

Anyway that's me in a nutshell. As I said I look forward to getting to know everyone.

Welcome from Illinois. Lots of great people and info here. If you have a question, usually someone will answer in just a few minutes. The site has been a round awhile. Last year they did a major upgrade and it is 200% better than old.
