Default Hello from The Ozarks

I live in the beautiful Ozark Mountains of Missouri near the National Scenic Riverways area. We have lots of beautiful roads winding the national forests in the area. I ride a 2007 Sportster XL883C. I have added a windshield, Engine Guards, removable sissy bar and luggage rack, removable saddle bags, added some chrome to the gas tank and oil tank, upgraded the seat, and installed Vance and Hines Short Shot staggered pipes.

My first major ride on it was to Sturgis and then on to Yellowstone over the Big Horn mountains and back home to Missouri over the Bear Tooth mountains in 2013. A little over 3,000 miles tent camping all the way.
