Default Wayward son

Hey all,

Just wanted to pop in and introduce myself; my name is Jake and I live in Milwaukee. I feel like a wayward son because I used to ride, I had a brand new (in 2005) Superglide and rode it for 2 years until I decided to sell it before leaving on my second tour of duty in Iraq in 2007 (Semper Fi!).

Well, I've had the itch to get back on and recently a good friend of mine bought a 2010 Wide Glide, he told me he was going to keep sending me pictures of his bike until I bought another - well it didn't take long.

Last night I picked up a '99 Road King Classic in vivid black. It really is a beautiful bike, for 11 years old it's in amazing condition. I'll get some pictures up eventually, but it's raining out right now.

Later,
Jake
