Default Another Newbee

Just saying hey. I've been on another bike forum for years but the new folks are getting a bit testy. Figured I'd give this forum a try.
To give you all a little info on myself. Long time Air Force but forced to medically retire about 10 years ago. I now teach High School History for a living. I've been riding since I was about 7 years old and find myself currently on my 99 Road Glide. I ride, and ride and ride, lol...
Feel free to ask me almost anything, I'm a pretty open book.
Oh yes, and don't mind my spelling, lol... I tend to rush my responses to posts and don't really take the time to look for spelling problems. Consider yourselves warned..........

Thanks for the welcome folks. I will post some pic's in the very near future. I let my script to my photo shop expire so most pic's I have are too large for posting here. I promise to correct that problem within a week and get something posted.
Pilot1996, flaming I can tolerate, lol.... The previous forum I was on just got rather childish with the comments and personal attacks. This forum looks to consisit of folks who think and are curtious. Again thanks for the welcome.
