Talking Hi all...

Lurked around for a couple of years, joined over a year ago, decided to pop
in and introduce myself since I can't introduce someone else. Anyway,
been riding since mid sixties, then on minibikes and rice. Graduated to Harley in
1995 to a 1200 Sportster. Had been around Harley through my father-in-law who
rode for years and years.
Now, I have a 1996 BadBoy, a 2007 StreetBob and a 2009 Heritage Classic.
The BadBoy has over 120,000 miles on it, about 15,000 on the Bob, and 4500 on the Heritage. The wife and I use the Heritage for touring and do this as much as we can. I
have no job, so I am under no requirement to work. Any other spare time I have is
spent with my 5 year old Grandson.
