Default Hello all

Hey,I stumbled onto this website and love it. I've been riding 20yrs now and finally got my Harley (God bless my wife!)
2005 Softail Deluxe, I can't wipe the grin off my face when I'm on it. I live in Cleveland, Ohio and ride until the snow starts and get back on it in March or so. Just thought I'd say hello.

Welcome Joe, from Sunny So. Cal. Those deluxes are beautiful. I'm sure others will say it as well but you HAVE to post some pics first chance you get. Also be sure to give the wife an extra "I Love You" daily for backing you on the HD. Not every man is so lucky.
