Default Hello

I actually joined quite a while back but my computer blew up and I lost everything. Finally stumbled back in here, got a new password and realized I had never even posted.

I live in Washington state. I am retired and finally relaxing a bit. I started riding bikes way back in 1968. Eventually owned 12, not all at once of course, all metric. I stopped riding in the late 80's. Kids and my career took too much time.

In Dec. of 2008 I bought a Heritage. Finally got the Harley I always wanted. Love the darn thing. I put SE II pipes, stage 1 and a tuner and had it dyno'd. It runs much much better now. Very pleased.

I don't know too much about Harleys so I may be asking some dumb questions and poking my nose around a bit.

Everyone have a good day and ride safe.
