Well, not really, but, I knew that would get your attention. I'm located in the metropolis of Interlachen, Fl. I'm proud owner of a 2006 Electra Glide Classic. I'm a professional photographer, and have been gainfully unemployed for the last 18 yrs. (This means I own my own portrait studio in Orange Park, Fl).
I'm also a forum administrator on three other forums, similar to this, for various professional photographer groups.
This bike is the second bike I've owned. I took about a 25 year hiatus from riding after I sold my little 1968 Honda 350 so many years ago.
There's an interesting little story that goes into how I now own a brand new Harley. I drive an hour each day to my studio. After Hurricane Katrina, last year, when the gas prices went through the roof, I started hinting to my wife that a motorcycle would sure save us a lot of money in gas. After awhile, she started to agree, and after just a little while longer, she was getting adamant that I get a bike. I told her, though, that I wouldn't consider anything but a Harley. It ended up actually beingf her idea that I get touring bike, and that it be a new one. Being the team player I am, I said 'Yes, Dear'.
Guess I'm not as dumb as I look.[sm=smiley23.gif]
