Default Hello from Maryland

Hello everyone. My name is Brian.

I retired from the Air Force a couple of years ago and decided it was time to begin riding...been riding now for about a year. I started off on a Suzuki Boulevard I picked up from a neighbor to learn on. I was searching for the exact Harley that I wanted and finally found it this past fall...bought a 2005 Road King FLHRI.

Right after I started riding, my wife wanted to learn to ride also, so she picked up a 2007 Sportster Low.

We've been riding fools ever since...only thing slowing us down now is the weather. I thought Maryland was supposed to have a mild winters...
