Default FNG from SC

Hello, My name is Steve M. (56), I live in the central part of South Carolina. Retired military with 29 years service. I work full time for an electrical engineer as a field rep. Exactly one week ago I bought my first Harley. I decided to go with the 08 EG Ultra Classic with 14k on the clock. My last bike was an 83 Yamaha Venture Royal. I sold that several years ago and have not ridden a lot in the last couple years. This is my first American iron. I have put about 300 miles on it and Iwish I had not waited so long to start riding again. This bike will take a little time to get the feel of. No mods yet, but I can feel it coming. Great forum and lots of info.
