Just joined up...seems to be a lot of great folks on here! I'm getting back in the saddle after quite a few years of being bikeless. I just turned 49, live in maryville tn...a few miles fom the dragon. Loads of excellent riding roads around here! Currently have a 91 sportster 883...as you can see from my handle, I am about to aquire a new switchback...it just feels like Im supposed to be on it, a part of me. My girlfriend is learning to ride the sportster and is doing very well indeed! She wants a softail heritage...I play guitar and banjo...and would like to find some good riding buddies in the area...

What's up New Guy!

Those Switchbacks look nice. Be sure to post pictures once you get it. I have a Heritage, which I love.

I am a guitar player too. I think my son is headed to Belmont Univ in Nashville next year, to study music. Let's meet up for a beer next year!

Welcome to a new member that is in my own back yard. We do a lot of riding in the Maryville/Smokies area. And we love the concerts at The Shed there at Smoky Mountain HD. Enjoy your new Switchback! This is a great area to be on 2 wheels.
