Login in name pretty much decribes my new toy, an 05 Lavared RKC. 1st Harley, 1st bike in 25 years. Still getting older but smiling alot more.

Still no bras hanging on the handle bars like the commercials, but I'll keep it anyway.

Welcome from central IL. Got my first Harley earlier this year after a 20+ yr. absence from riding. Bought a Vivid Black FXDI (Super Glide) . Be careful though, these things age you fast. I was a young 56 when I bought it, and already I'm 57.

Howdy Dennis, welcome to Harley Country. Enjoy the ride. You have a lot of company with people that are middle aged getting Harleys, I'm one also.
