OK first off I have no bike yet......Ban me now for that! LOL Well a few years ago I was getting one and well life happens(Kids).... So now that they are a little older, I have resurrected my mission to get a bike. I have been looking through the site and man there are some really nice bikes on here. I used to ride way back when but it has been about 15 years. That was before I joined the service. Anyway, I went out to SD Harley today and sat on a bunch of bikes to get an idea what I liked the best. I am really into the Rocker and the Night Train. The Fat Bob Lo was really a good fit also. I am short(5'6") so it is difficult to find a bike that feels comfortable. Those were the ones I felt best on.

I just figured since I was lurking around on here that I would say hi so as not to be "That Guy" that registers and never posts...

Look forward to joining the club in the near future.
