Default New guy - Kinda

Been a member for over a year. Going to start posting so I need to introduce myself.

Great resource for all levels of riders and wrenchers, has helped me out a lot.

Ride an Ultra Classic, Heritage Softail, and a rigid sporty I bumped up to a 1200 (too fast).

If you see a chihuahua with a helmet and goggles on a green/black Ultra in Northern Virginia, his name is Rocco; I'm his driver.

Welcome (sorta) Rocco and Driver!

I live in MD (MT Airy) so I'm very familiar with NOVA and have ridden there many times. My youngest son just graduated from George Mason (leaving me penniless in the meantime!).

If you ever ride in MD, check out my site for some ride ideas (I do it just for fun):
http://www.maryland-motorcycling.com

I'll look for someone riding with a chihuahua in a helmet when I'm in your area next time. In the meantime, check out the pic I took of a dude riding the Vegas strip earlier this year. I couldn't get a larger pic to upload so you might have to look closely (hint: there's a dog sitting on the gas tank).
