Default Hello from GA

Hello all,
Just wanted to take a quick moment to introduce myself. My name is Ben, currently live in Kingsland, GA. Retiring from the US Navy at the end of this year. One of my retirement presents from my wife is going to be a new Street Glide. Putting the deposit down tomorrow on a 2013. So excited, first HD. Have been riding for probably around 15 years or so, but always on sportbikes. Those are not so easy on the back, so I figured it was time for a touring type bike. Thanks for all the information that I have found so far on this website.

Ben
