Hey folks, I just found the forum. Been riding from about 1975. My first bike was a 51 Mustang, went to Triumphs for a while then on to HD. I've owned a couple of Sprints, a few sportsters, and now I'm the proud owner of a real bike. I have a 76 FXE. 99% stock bike. I've had Francess for a couple of years and almost no problems, never broke down like some people said the shovels do a lot. She starts on the first or second kick, and runs strong. I ride every day, rain or shine don't matter to me. I'm getting almost 50 MPG. Rode all winter, even in snow. I hope to meet some of the folks here and maybe do some riding.

new on here myself and also from kentuk, I've had a couple hogs. My 1st was a '93 fxstc that i customized out, then I got a '65 pan which I still have and then I bought a '03 flhtpi which I rode from kentucky to new mexico and colorado and back which after i got back I let a buddy of mine talk me into sellin him. After ridin it though I had to stay with the glide so now I have an '04 flhtcse which I like but didn't expect to lose 10 mpg's, don't care much for that part though. Look 4ward to bein on here looks like pretty cool people and seems like I can find alot of info on here
