Default Newb from SoCal

Hello! Proud new Harley Owner here! 22 year military member from Texas living in Coronado California. Looking to retire from the military in the next four years and head back to Texas.

The wife finally let me buy a dream. I'm the proud owner of a 2003 Night Train. I am happy to be here, and look forward to learning a lot from y'all!
