Default New but old

I'm new to this site and re-newed to Harleys. I sold my last Harley in 1975 but my NEW wife wanted me to get another. So, last week I bought a new Ultra Classic, boy-howdy have they changed for the better. After 30 years it took me about 10 seconds to realize how much I missed riding. Thanks Big Charley

Welcome!! This is a great forum site!! I was the same way, except I realized several years ago that I needed another HD, but my wife convinced me to wait until my son was a little older... There is just something about riding a Harley and if you have to explain it to someone else, they won't understand...
Mizzou huh? I have a lot of kin folk up in southwest part of misery...

Glad you found us. I have a similar story, I gave up on riding a few years back, the wife missed it so much, I went out and got an EG. Boy am I glad we did too...
