Talking Another new guy from TX

Did you ever just wake up one morning and say to yourself, I need to buy a Harley? LOL. The problem was I didn't look at all the bikes before I bought and ended up with 3 (one is the wife's). I had been away from riding for 20+ years with flight schools, wars, kids and all the normal stuff and thought I needed to start with a smaller bike, hence the 883 Low Sporty, that lasted 3 weeks and found that the Rocker fit me MUCH better, so trade in time. I know some hate the Rocker but I love it and feels right. So, the wife now needs a ride and that turned out to be a 08 1200 Sportster trike(she can't ride on two wheels), she loves it, kinda cute I guess. I think there is a bunch of very smart cycle guys on the forum and are ready to help with all kinds of information , so I say thanks in advance to them as I will be asking. Good talking to you all, I'm going over to the softtail section to ask about the Danny Gray seat I got for the Rocker. Thanks.
