Hi,

My name is Gary. Been riding since 71 with three trips cross country. Bought my first Harley almost two years ago, FLHRCI, and haven't stopped spending money on it yet. Does it end???? Not that I want it to. I am having more fun than I know what to do.

These sites are very helpful. I am learning alot from the experience of all of you. Thanks.

Peace,
g

Welcome, gary. No, the spending never stops. If it does that just means you ain't ridin' any more.

Gary,

Welcome to the forum, and the spending is bad. This is my first bike, first Harley, and I thought I spent money on the others! I've had this one for less than a week, and I already have made two purchases, and after our ride tonight, I'm looking at two more.

It will have to slow down at some point, or the kid will stop eating...

Hope you'll visit often, it's a fun little place!
