Default New from western NY

I bought my first bike at 16 years old a kaw kz200 (ok not much of a bike but it was cheap). had few others for 8 years or so and found myself bikeless, thats when I met my future wife....it takes me 16 years (2 years ago) to talk her into getting another bike, the only stipulation comfy for her, and limited funds. I found an older (1982) goldwing, it fit the bill and she loves to ride. Fast forward to february 2012 I found a 2009 superglide @ Stans harley davidson in Batavia, NY. I mention them because they are a fantastic dealer and helped "sell" it to my bride, I bought feb. 28th my first harley. with the fantastic spring we've been having I've had the opportunity to ride several times, and love it! and now we are slowly making it mine.
ok enough out of me, I'll go back to lurking now
