Default Another new HD guy

Hey everybody signed on a couple of days ago and have spent my time since lurkin and learnin. This is an awesome site with many awesome sights...love all the bike pics.

I was literally heading out the door on Tues. to buy my 1st road scoot, an Iron 883, here in Kingston, ON and as I picked up my truck keys the phone rang and my wife was laid off from her job of 10 years right out of the blue. Unbelievable!! Needless to say my plans are on hold for a bit but that bike will be mine soon.

In the mean time I'll continue to enviously browse all your rides.

Cheers Wander

Welcome from the Adirondacks.
That sounds close. Good thing it was as you were leaving & not as you were returning.
