Default New (OK, middle aged) guy from Ohio

Hello, I am Dan from the west side of Cleveland. I recently acquired a 05 883 custom after a near twenty year hiatus from riding. I forgot how much I missed it, and have been enjoying the heck out of riding for the last two months. Strangely, my butt hurts more after being in the saddle for awhile then it did when I was in my twenties. Wonder why that is?

I look forward to learning and eventually sharing as much information as possible about our shared passion.

Build up those cheek bones by riding more. Welcome from Minnesota.

Congrats on riding again and making a good choice on getting a HD.
