Default Hello from Des Moines

Just bought my first Harley 2 weeks ago. I got the 05' Dyna Super Glide. I love it and am looking forward to having fun adding different things. First I have to get the controls moved forward, man is that driving me nuts. Well take care everyone.

Thanks, it's an old family name. I'm named after my dad and he's named after my great uncle and so on.
Guess what question I've had to answer the last 37 years every time I was introduced as Harley?

Actually it was "Is your last name Davidson?" Most people seem to think Harley Davidson is one person.

Thanks John. I am enjoying it and I'm already thinking about how bad winter will be. But my cousin and I already agreed to ride one hour a month during winter minimum.
