Default Newguy from Minnesota

Goodmorning everyone,

I have a 05 Heritage Softtail. Had not been on a bike for close to 30 years. Used to steal my brother's Kawasaki everychance I could back in my late teens. Decided now was the time, just before my 50th birthday. Sure wish I would have done this before. Love every minute of it, even when I am not ridin, Trying to add something to the bike, (if my mechanical skills allow me too) Found this great forum accidently from J&P forum site. Wow, what a great site. Looking forward to learning more, and seeing these awesome pictures of all your bikes. Thanks. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving, and lookin forward to next spring when I can wake up the Harley.

Steve

p.s. goin to be in 50'-60's the next couple of days here in Minneeeeesota- Too bad bike is winterized.

Hi Steve from a fellow Minnesotian! What part of the state are you in? I just started riding back in July for the first time in my life and am loving it too. Started on a 06 Sportster 883L and traded it the end of September on a 05 Softail Deluxe. I'm glad Hub and I have not put the bikes up for the winter yet, we took a short ride Sunday and hope to get at lest one more in the next day or so!
