Hey All,
Just found this site..pretty neat so far. Anyway I'm currently piloting a '98 Ultra Classic. I've been riding for 23 years and have owned a couple of imports. My first H-D was a '87 Electra Glide Classic (I like baggers, what can I say). Sold it in 97 for my down payment on my house. So I was was bike-less for a number of years. Then... My Dad had this '98 Ultra Classic that he wasn't riding much and decided to (get this) GIVE it to me. Yes that's right FREE!!!!! So I have a truely cool old man huh?

Well that's how I got back in the saddle again. See ya around.

B.I.T.S.

Welcome to the board, BITS. If you ever find that you're not riding enough you can always pass that ride over to me for free too. Hope you like it here and stick around.

Welcome, BITS! I'm relatively new around here as well, but I can tell you that they're a good group, and they LOVE their Harleys! Be sure to browse through all the sections, they're all fun and helpful.
