Default My first Harley
Hello from San Diego. I just traded one of my trucks for a 02 Road King. I don't even know why I did it. Never even ridden a harley before. Some kind of a harley bug must have bitten me. I live in the foothills of San Diego with some great places to ride. Hope my wife doesn't divorce me.
Looking to learn as much as Ican here so please excuse any stupid questions I will have. Any www.bloodydecks.com members here to make me feel at home? Great fishing forum site if anyone is intrested

Pat
