Default just checkin in

just postin my "introduction" to the board... i'm just a kid at 22, but i enjoy it. my dad got me hooked on riding, but i went an joined up with the Marine Corps right outta high school... so the bike has sat for three years now while i've been workin over in the middle east n asia areas... but i'm getting close to going home that last time. no hard feelings with the Marine Corps - just hard to start a life outside of the middle east right now. but that is pretty much me - my bike, my guns, my Texas.
