Default Old New Guy from Chicago area!

Greetings everybody! I'm new to this forum, been on bikes for the last 44 years, & on H-D's since 1991! Current rides: 2005 Road King ULTRA CLASSIC,(RK Classic with tunes & ultra king tour pak = Road King Ultra)! And, my 2010 E Glide Classic. Had many bikes in my life & lots of sweet H-D's. Unfortunately, living in the Chicago area, weather limits riding time, & to make matters worse, I'm in a company truck all week long, that I drive to & from work, so, I can't ride to work on nice days either. Been a HOG member since 1991, currently a member of Wild Fire H-D local chapter.
