Default Greetings from Northern Illinois
I've been reading posts on this forum for about 3 hours now and it just occured to me ( dah) I should join up.
I've rode Hondas ect from the mid 70's on and liked them all for one reason or another but riding /owning a Harley is a whole new experience.
I bought my first Harley in 2000 (fxd) and am lovin every minute of it .

Hey High Gear, welcome to the forum! I am new to the forum also. I too ride a FXD, a 2005. What part of Illinois you from? I have lived in Southeast Missouri for the last 25 years, but am originally from the Ottawa/LaSalle Peru area. Anyway, enjoy yourself, lots of good people and good information on this forum. Ride safe.
