Hello, everyone. I'm a new member on this forum but not new to motorcycles. I've rode bikes for many years, dirtbikes and street bikes. Never been a member of a club. I'm more of a loner type. Dress like I want, go where I want, when I want. I ride very little any more, usually just to town and back or over to the next town. Tell the truth, I have gotten too old to do the all day, hard ride any more. I've overhauled a few Harleys and built a couple of customs but I don't have the interest in or the dedication to do customs anymore. I still like motorcycles though and still ocassionally put a wrench on one.

welcome to the forum, My life has been about the same as yours, as far as bikes. riding started at 15 and now almost 60 and I still love it as much as the 1st one.
really, I enjoy it more, don't have to work on them all the time to keep them running anymore...
Here's a thumbnail of my 1st harley I did in 1971 it was the first chopper I built, 100% all my work. 1970 XLCH.

Keep riding and be safe,
From Indy....
