Default Formal introduction ?

Hello Everyone:

Although I have been a forum member for several months I have only posted two or three times. I am not much on chit-chat, I generally just intake all of the tech info, member experience with new accessories or modifications, or troubleshooting tips supplied by other members. The forum is a great source of help and information. Now with all of that said I have never formally introduced my self, so here it goes, my screen name is Zyklon I am the typical returning rider. I am on the very far side of 50. I rode 24 years ago and wife, home, kids forced reallocation of funds and the mending of my somewhat errant ways. I have ridden and owned Triumph, BSA, Norton, and various Rice Grinders. And I all ways told my wife “I will get another bike someday.” So the kids are now grown, the home is paid for and I have had my 06 Wide Glide long enough to put 1000 miles on it. It came with the 25deg. Injectors so its one of the later models. I will post a photo or two but its kind of plane Jane compared too many of the bikes on the forum. Other personal info, I am a Nam Vet (1968), and still think Jane Fonda should be doing life in the electric chair. I love to hunt, fish, and camp. I can work with or tolerate just about anyone accept a liar, a thief, a wife beater or child abuser.
I respect rights of others to express their opinion. (But if they do it by burning an American flag they had best do it while running at full speed and hope that they are faster than I am.) I think too many people have become dependant on state and federal government handouts and subsidies. The nation of self reliant “Don’t hand it to me I will get it myself” Americans is getting a little smaller every day. I think that sending all of our manufacturing and industrial jobs off shore is a colossal mistake that will one day be regretted. I have nothing but praise for immigrants who come to the U.S. learn to speak English and go through the required steps to become naturalized citizens. I do not like illegal aliens marching in the streets demanding all of the rights of American citizens be handed over on a silver platter. I think the border should be sealed by the military (mined, declared a free fire zone and covered by roving sniper teams.) and Political Correctness can take a hike. Ok, this intro has gone long enough. I will try posting photos with this post or a Photo Bucket URL.

Not a Liberal.
