Hello all,

Last week I picked up my first bike. It's an '04 RK Custom with stage 2 and 204 cams. Needless to say, I feel like I did when I met my wife 16 years ago and when our first son was born 9 years ago and then a dughter 6 years ago. It is sureal, exciting and a lttle bit scary all at the same time.

So far I have put about 150 miles on her and can't wait to put thousands more. I've waited a long time to realize this dream I've had of owning a Harley-Davidson. I can remember dreaming about it when I was 12 years old.

I hope to meet a lot of new friends who can offer insight and advice. Thank you in advance for letting me into the club. See ya out there brothers and sisters..
