Default Newb intro

Hi Everyone,

I am crossing over to the darkside or from it depending on how you look at things. I have been riding for about 15 years, mostly sport bikes but due to my relocation to TX and lack of twisty roads here I am shopping for a Harley. I have actually been shopping for one over the past year because I want to get more into the cruiser scene mainly for taking trips and such. I have had a sportster and rode a fat boy up the coast of CA. Now I am in the market for a Softail, prefereably a Night Train. In my search for this it has brought me to your site. Hopefully I will be the proud new owner of my Harly in the next few weeks and I am sure there will be plenty of questions after that.

-See you on the road
Chris
