Default Hello from Texas

I've been a reader here on the forum for a few months. I been on my '00 Sporty for about 6 years and loved it. Rebuilt the whole thing from the frame up. Since I'm not a big fan of letting some other dude touch my girl, I turned all my own wrenches. I had some help from this site and the XL Forum.

Yesterday, I realized I was tired of sore butt and back (I'd converted to hardtail) and traded in the ole scoot for a LazyBoy on wheels. Went and got me an '01 Electra Glide Classic. I know its got some performance upgrades, and been taken real good care of but that is about it.

Took the new bike out today and rode around the Fort Worth area. Put more miles on without taking a beating than I have on the Sporty in quite some time. Kinda nice listening to music and pipes at the same time!

Anyhow, here's a shout out from cowtown.
