Default Hi from the Philly area with my 1st Harley
Hi, I just joined HDF a few days ago and what a great forum!

I had ridden in my youth back in 65, then joined the Navy, became married and raised a family. I finally came back to the sport about 5 years ago and have been loving it ever since. This past June, my darling wife bought me my first Harley, a new 2010 FatBoy Lo, for our anniversary. She's a keeper!

Initial mods include black highway bars, flashing red tail lights/turn signals with RTB controller, detachable windshield, and 2" black risers. More to come and this is the place for the voice of experience.

Thanks and keep the shiny side up.
