Default old man, new toy

Hello from be-u-t-full Pacific NW, just bought my first Harley, 2003 FXDL. The ex ol lady thought I was too old for a bike, thats why she is the ex ol lady. Love the power and sound of the V-twin, altho its not quite as loud as she was. Really enjoy reading the forum, i don't have much to say but the info & knowledge here is incredible. And the pics are awsum. Glad & proud to be a new member. Love tinkering with the deuce almost as much as riding it. And there are some great roads to be road (?) around here. I am near the mouth of the Columbia, which btw is the second biggest mouth I have ever seen. don't need to tell you who had the biggest.
