Default Hey

Hey everyone,

I just joined up! I read alot stuff on this forum as a guest so I decided I would just register.

I just turned 29. I've been riding for about ten years and I average 5,000 to 8,000 miles a summer. (in Minnesota)

I have ridden sportbikes exclusively up until last may when I bought my first cruiser. (2006 Yamaha Warrior)

I absolutley LOVE it.

My first brand new bike was a 1998 Buell White Lightning. It was very fun to ride but a reliability nightmare.

I've stuck with metrics ever since but have always had much respect for the HD's. (not always the people riding them but thats another story)

.......and no I'm not bagging anyone on this forum so settle down all you easily offended/defensive folks.

I've been toying with the idea of giving it another chance and buying another american bike. (the thought of it gives me warm and fuzzys)

I love all the current models and I love the Road Glide and the Street glide although I've never had the chance to sample either.

ANYWAYS.....................................just though I'd say hi.


TONY
