Default Introduction

I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. I'm Bob, live in OH. I've been riding for 25 years or so. I just bought MY FIRST HARLEY! 2 weeks ago. I'd been riding sportbikes and traded in a Kaw. ZZR1200 and a Suz. SV650 for an '05 Road King Custom, Black Cherry. Like riding a Cadillac without doors. I guess I never knew what I was missing.
