Hi everybody. Name's kermit... I am a probate in an MC here in wisconsin and can't think of anything I love more than motorcycles other than my family (wife and 2 boys) and my club.
I ride a 1998 heritage softail classic. Just traded a kawasaki crotch buster in for it. That'll be my last rice rocket!
Previously I have owned that 2005 kawi, '07 XL1200L, '98 honda vf750 magna, 1984 yamaha vmax, 1982 honda cb650 nighthawk, and '82 yamaha xj550 maxim, not to mention other bikes under 500cc that don't really count, and dirtbikes.
I try to get to know my bikes inside and out, as much as possible. Being in an MC with Harleys as the primary wheels will help but my experience has shown me that sites like this are an absolute staple.
The bike I have now will be with me for a while. Its what I have wanted since I started riding and now I have one. It has 33,540 miles on it, bone stock, 1 owner, and was very well cared for. But if it is going to continue it's life being well maintained and kept I might as well start now.
