Default Hello All

Hello,

I'm new to the forum, and look forward to speaking to you all.

I come from Worcestershire in the UK.

I am currently on my second Harley, a '05 FXSTI which I have owned for just a couple of months. I bought my first Harley an 883C back in February after having been away from biking for many years. As you can see the 883 didn't last long - nothing wrong with it - great bike, I just had to have a Softail! I was away from bikes not by choice, but due to circumstances for far too long, and have really got the bug again now. I just cannot understand how people can own a Harley and only put a couple of thousand miles on it in a year. I have to be on the road at every opportunity, and when I am not able to get out I do my best to get polishing. So many roads and so few hours!
