Hello. Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is John, I just bought my first Harley this summer and love it. It is a 2008 FXDF. I have been street riding since the early eighties. I've had dirt bikes, 3-wheelers, standards and sportbikes. Did some racing in 600 Super Sport class in CCS in the mid 90's. Haven't ridden much since then, but got the itch to ride again this year. I have gotten past the need-for-speed and just want to cruise and enjoy the ride. My Fat Bob is exactly what I needed at this point in my life.
I am a small farmer with "country values" and I don't try to be anything that I am not. I have been lurking here for a while and decided to sign up. I have already gotten some good information from here, and I hope that I can contribute somehow.
