I'm just an older guy who likes to cruise the backroads and state highways without setting his hair on fire. Born and raised in Cincinnati. Bought a new 2013 Road King to replace my metric. After years of wanting nothing to do with riding my wife decided to accompany me and is getting hooked. This may or may not prove to be a good thing. I plan to leave the factory exhaust on the bike so long as she doesn't start telling me how to ride. Anyway, her comfort was the excuse I needed to buy the HD Maybe some road trips to see the grandkids are in order now that I have a highway heavyweight.
Look forward to learning from this community and making some new friends.

I'm not quite old enough for grandkids but I share your sentiment, I love cruising the back roads and state highways at just about the speed limit. That's riding to me.
Wow... thanks for all the welcomes!
Amazing to hear from so many riders from all over the country.
So this is the HD "community" I heard about from the lonely seat of my metric.
Glad to join you. I have lots to see and learn here.
