Talking another boring newbie

Hi, I'm just another boring newbie adding more fuel to the fire. I been riding 40 years, have had over a dozen bikes, and this is my 1st h-d, AND I love it. All metal, carb fed, the gears go clunk, and that classic look.
I plan to keep her a longggggg time, as so long as I can mod her when the time comes ( new paint, engine rebuild with cam, etc.). Plus more good news is that the ol' lady gave me permission to build a harley powered bobber for those in-town travels next year.

In all her glory.... 1999 H-D Electra Glide std.



Me and my wife.
