Default new guy from MO

hello from missouri. i ran across this site several times while looking at bikes and looking for different info so i thought i would join. i guess ill tell a little about me. im just a normal guy i guess. pretty boring most of the time, all i do it seems like is work and come home to my wife and daughter. im not complaining at all my family is my life. i dont have a bike yet im hoping to get a sportster sometime in the next couple years. id love to have one sooner but being realistic i dont think itll happen. my wife is getting tired of me talking about it. she hates the idea of me getting a bike. she doesnt think i should get one til our kids are grown and at least in college ( my daughter is 3). she said either i wont get one at all or ill come home one day with a motorcyle and she'll be pissed for a long time about it. lol i told her i could handle her being pissed. i grew up riding dirtbikes and had a 750 honda in high school. my dad had a 65 norton scrambler when i was growing up. i know i want a sportster of some sort. with a solo seat and ape hangers. no idea what year or anything else. id love to have a new 48 but i plan on buying used for my first bike.

My wife gave up on the argument a few years ago, & now she rides with me all the time. She couldn't believe how much fun she was missing out on...
