Default New HD rider

Just thought I would say hi, been reading alot here and just got to say this is one of the best sites.

I just bought a 06 Street Glide from my ole man, he is having health issues and cant ride anymore. So i figured I would help him out and keep the bike in the family.

Been in Afghanistan for the past year and havent got to ride it yet, but its got 6k miles, a few things done to it, not sure what though?

I live in Lake Havasu City, AZ. so with any luck I will be able to start doing some good rides soon.

Here is the only pic i have, I cant wait to get outa this **** hole and get on the road!

Later,
D

What branch of service? Regardless, Semper Fi brother. I'm an HD newbie too, just waiting for delivery.

Great looking bike. Good luck, and watch your 6.

Thanks for the warm welcomes,
Without getting into too much detail or trouble, I am what you would call a Hired Hand out here, I have been coming to these places for well over 4 years now. I am a pilot of the Unmanned Aircraft that fly in these places. I have worked with several branches Marines, Navy, Army SF, and other countries as well. I rotate every 8 months to a year at a time and bounce to a few sites within Theater. It’s a demanding Job to put it nicely, I get to work with some pretty cool people, as well.
I am usually attached to a Unit for the entire deploy, go where they go, and support them.
Thank you for your support!
