Default Hi

My name is Ron... and I'm a Harleyholic. I've tried to quit.... but I just can't. Been riding for about 44 years. It's an addiction.

Useless info: Army Vet, Network administrator, Avid Photographer, I don't like long walks on the beach..... and.... I love my country, but don't trust my government.

So where's the coffee?
