Default Hot01 Introduction

Hi!

I've been riding Harleys for a long time. Right now I'm riding a 2001 Softail that I bought new. I like to do a lot of long distance solo riding. I meet more people that way. I teach the MSF Basic and Experienced Rider Courses for ABATE of Colorado and write about riding at Examiner.com. I'm also working on a book about my solo cross-country ride.

Well, enough about me. Going out to the forums to learn more about y'all.

Interesting story. I'll check out examiner.com. Like you, I prefer to ride solo. So far it's allowed me more freedom. Across country, now that's another story. Keep us updated on your book.

Welcome to the forum. Great place to hang out when you're not riding!
