Yep, another Texan.

What in the world am I doing posting in a Harley board? Well, I have seen the Fat Bob, that's what. That bike just seems to make a ton o' sense to me. What would make even more sense would be for one to reside in my garage.

Currently bike-less. My last bike was a '79 Kawasaki KZ1000 LTD, with cool flat cafe-style bars. Old-school power. I've been without it for about 6 years now.

Hope to just learn about the bikes here, and think about what mods I'll want/have to do.

Glad to be here!
