Default Greetings from Canada

Greetings everyone,
I just joined the forum the other day and figured I would introduce myself now. I'm up in the Great White North, Strathmore, Alberta, Canada (near Calgary). I ride a 2001 FXSTD. it's been punched out to 95" with some head work. Last time I dynoed it, it was running 103 HP & 105 TQ at the wheel. I still have some more engine mods to do, but for now it's just going to be cosmetics.
I'll post some pictures once I clean it up.

Cheers

Thanks for the welcomes! Seems like a good bunch of people here.

The bike is definitely peppy. But you need it when it has to haul my big carcass around ;-)
