New guy here, Dave W. (RoadGlyd) from Milwaukie, Oregon here in the spectacular Pacific Northwest. A lifelong rider - well, not from the womb, but shortly thereafter. I've owned 4 H-D's in my 35 years on the road; and in those years have never been without one. I just bought an '11 Road Glide Custom 103". Others have been an '06 Street Glide, an '84 Electra Glide SE and a 77 Electra Glide, with a '74 Norton Commando sprinkled in for good measure.
My wife of 27 years also rides. She, on the other hand, changes bikes more often; she's owned 6 H-D's in her 14 years on the road. Her newest is an '11 Road King 103", bought at the same time I got mine.
We get in at least one long trip per year, this year's destination will be the long way around to Colorado to visit some of the wife's relatives, then the long way home.
