Just wanted to introduce myself from Kingwood Tx. Me and the better half are new to this! We just took the safety class in Feb. We bought her a 2013 Softail Slim and we both shared about 600 miles on it practicing. Less than a cpl months ago I just couldn't wait and picked up my 2013 Road Glide Custom. Guess it was my 40th Bday present. Midlife crisis? Maybe! But better late than never right? It was between that or a Street Glide. The Shark just fit better. Felt more stretched out being 6'2". Already done a ton of stuff to it! I have put 600 miles on it so yes we are rookies and bought what we wanted the first go round Looking forward to chatting, learning and getting to know some peeps!
