Default Hello All...

I've been surfing into this forum every now and again for quite some time. I figured it was time to sign up.

I've been riding all my life. That's roughly 40 years... Yup! At age 12, I was "pull-starting" my first ride. Anyone else remember Ruttman mini bikes?

At any rate... I sold my '96 Wide Glide and picked up a 2013 Deluxe. I'm in heaven...

Kenny

Welcome from York Pa. Yes I rode with friends who rode the rutmans.... funny... When I now go back to all those places I used to ride it still brings back a smile.

Welcome and keep the shinny side up
