Hey Everyone !
I'm new here and this is my first post to say HI !

My name is Dave, I've been riding off and on most of my life, moved up to my first HD in 1991, had lots of metrics before 91, probably every brand made. My most memorable bike was a Triumph 650 Bonnie that I rode in the 70's. My last HD was a 2003 Heritage Springer that my wife has divorced her 06 1200c to ride. I'm on a 2009 Electra Glide now and I thing the off and on part of my riding life has left forever. It's going to be ON from now on.
I live in Central Ca. and ride pretty much all year round. I'm not much of a rain rider but if I get caught in the rain then so be it. The heat doesn't stop me either, but I will head for the mountains when it's triple digits out.

Ok, just wanted to introduce myself, hope your all doing great and making good memories having lots of safe rides.
