Default Hello from Freezing Michigan

Hello all, my name is Adam Sparks.

After 20+ years of waiting I decided to start riding this year. I purchased a 2007 Street Bob in October, and am not happy about the snowy, 20 degree weather here in Michigan.

I am the only person I know who owns a bike. I came here to communicate with of HD owners about everything from great places to ride, to help maintaining my machine.

I guess I will be leaning on you guys heavily until I meet some other riders in my area.

Welcome to the forum! Need a great place to ride? Try New Hampshire, where it seems just about everyone rides. Of course, you'll need to wait until spring, but we would be glad to have you.
