Hi Folks,
New Member here.
2005 1200 Roadster owner here. Works Performance Suspension, and a 82 HP motor. Love the bike if I could just eliminate the darn speed wobble. Been riding bikes since the late 50's. Dad and I had a Kawasaki Dealership from 1964-1971 when I went in the Marines.
I used to race, mostly Flattrack, but occasional Scrambles and Hillclimbs. Been away from bikes for labout 20 years, and this is my 1st H-D. I'm more into Zing than Bling. I'm sort of a freak though.....I always wear a helmet and a jacket of some sort!
As you can tell from my login....I've got a Vette too. Geez....I'm not sure which tax is worse....Corvette Tax or Harley! Both can consume huge wads of ca$h though!

Ride On
Bruce
