Default New Guy From Iowa

Thought I'd drop in to say hi and introduce myself to everyone.

My real name is Josh, I'm 21 years old and have been around 2 wheelers most of my life, but just got into street legal bikes last year when I bought a Buell. Then last month I went crazy over the really nice weather we were having and bought a 2005 Super Glide Custom with 2900 miles on it.



Picture is from the dealer, I've already replaced the seat and added forward controls (this forum helped me decide on a seat plus gave me info on pulling the primary apart to install the forward controls).

I am a machinist both by hobby and by trade, hence the user name.

Looking forward to finding many more doo-dads to add to the Harley.
