Default Hello from Texas

Hello all from San Antonio Tx.
My name is Mike Folks, I own a 2002 1200 custom sportster.
I am a HOG member, and enjoy riding all over Texas and western US.
you can see my Harley on the link below.
I try to ride every weekend to the Texas hill country or the coast...
so if anyone want to join me and a few friends, just get back to me.

Welcome to the board. I am new here also. I live on Cedar Creek lake about 80 miles SE of Dallas. Lived in the New Braunfels area for about 10 years, so I know how lucky you are with the Hill Country so close. If you get close, give me a shout and I'd be glad to buy your beverage of choice.

Welcome to the forum Mike and JCC. I'm jealous that you can ride year round. I live in Colorado and the weather can get cold. The good thing is it can get pretty warm through out the winter (like the last few days) so you can sneak a ride in occaisionally.

Damnit... my buddy's been trying to get me to move to Tejas for 20years now.

but I'm thinking I could sneak in a ride right now. A whole 40 degrees, which is nice since the sub-zero weather we've had for the past week.

Again, Welcome Aboard to the H-D Forums!

Hello Mike,

Let me know if you swing through Yuma, maybe I can jump in for part of the ride, depending on the work schedule.

That's a great looking bike you have there!

Oh, almost forgot,



Mac
