Default Hello from East Texas

Hi all. I am Dale and in April I picked up a 2005 Ultra Classic.
My first Harley. I live in Hawkins Texas Which is 100 miles from Dallas or 100 miles from Shreveport La. If you ever find yourself in my area and need help please feel free to contact me. Have a very small 1 car garage but have almost all the tools needed to do minor repairs and a lift if needed....

If there is anything I need to know about the Harley that might not be common knowledge please let me in on it. I love my bike and want to keep her running good.
I put on a led accent light kit that does many different colors as well as flash and all that good stuff. I know its not a Christmas tree but and 2 am on the weekend I WANT TO BE SEEN buy the drunkest of drivers or the blindest of them. Plus the kids love them. Don't Flame me to hard over it.

I am a Disabled Army vet. My oldest just graduated from Combat Medic A.I.T.

Sorry if this is more info than you want to know. I never know what to put in this kind of stuff.

Keep safe and up on two. Dale..
