Default Newbie from Nor Cal

Hello fellow bikers....I am visiting the forum for the first time in quite awhile. It's great to be back.

Anyway, I have a 2004 FLSTFI (Fatboy) in Lava Red and absolutely dig it. I ride every chance I get. I've got about 16K miles on her now. I've been to Sturgis and back once since I bought it and looking forward to another trip next year in '07. Mods so far....Van & Hines Sideshots, chromed out frontend, head covers, upper and lower belt gaurd, sprocket, forward controls, foot controls, grips, foot board inserts, tilt back license plate, mirrors, aux lighting & trim rings, and Screaming Eagle Intake.

Next mods will be 16" Chubby Apes, laces, whitewalls, chrome swing arm & axle covers and lowering kit. Going a little retro.

I'm taking her up to Street Vibrations Rally in Reno this weekend, It should be a blast. In fact, I better get going, I have to be up bright early tomorrow so, we can get on the road at a decent hour.

I'm glad to be part of the two-wheel brotherhood. Chat with ya soon.
