Default Another new guy

Been hanging around for about 6 months now, learning a lot from just reading the various posts.

Retired LEO from Phoenix PD. Don't have a bike yet but got hooked last year at Reno Street Thunder. Wife's cousen had 2 harleys, Heritage and Ultra. Spent 4 fun filled days on the Heritage 2 up with the wife. first time on a bike in 25 years, did take the bike safty course before going to Reno. Last bike (read only) was a BSA one lunger 250CC back in the late 60's. Wife of 42 years says I can have another bike when I can pay cash for it like I did for the BSA so all the pennies go into a jar now.

Any way, I enjoy the forum.
