Default hello from sin city

new kid on the block her. I've been riding 30 years, all rice burners because I was young and poor and could only dream of HD. Now i'm old and poor but the son is out of the house (in the Airforce) leaving just me and the wife so I finally got my dream. Currently on a 96 flstn and I will never go back. Looks like a lot of good information on this forum. hope everyone had happy holidays

Love your town. Wanted to do New Years there but couldn't find a place for less than $500 a night...

Hope you'll stick around and chat awhile...

Thanks all. I will post a pic of the bike as soon as I can figure out how to do it. (help anyone?) Pilot, i'm surprised you could even find a room that cheap on New Years! it gets pretty crazy on the Strip! PersonallyI stay as far away as possible. Once you get off the Strip this is a pretty nice town to live in, lots of stuff to do and great riding weather most of the year. Hey Ironhead as far as the Margaritas, you know our motto what happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas! So go ahead and suck a few down!

Thanks, my new friend!

That's exactly what happened to me too.

Welcome from a former Vegas-ite. Haven't lived there in over 10 years and can't say I miss it. I do visit every now and then. Anyway, hope you enjoy your stay here.
