Default Herro!

Hey everyone,

Will from LA here! I couldn't come up with a crafty username so I just went with the last thing i saw on TV.

A little about myself:

I am a German-American living in West Los Angeles. I have been working with State Farm Insurance for 11 years as a specialist. I currently work with an agent in Marina Del Rey.

I love good food, strong drinks and spending time with the love of my life and my friends. My father was a 30 year agent who retired and just finished his retirement home on the Colorado River in Arizona. Near a town called Parker. He has been riding Harleys all his life and just picked up a new pearl white soft tail.

I used to ride Kawasaki and finally took the plunge and picked up an 08 Dyna Street Bob. I love the bike and although miss the power and smoothness of a 4 cylinder engine, hydraulic clutch and brakes... My Street Bob just rides smooth around town. Unlike the Kawasaki that only liked the open road, the Street Bob is great for city hopping and since its a Dyna I have no problem taking it on long rides.

I love music and in my spare time love mixing records. My genre of choice is House but I love all kinds of music. Alternative and Classic rock are usually my soundtrack when I ride.

Looking forward to learning some new things here. Thanks for hosting!

-Will

Bought it at Bartels Harley!

Thank you again everyone!

Also, I saw the note regarding who to contact for help (want to change my name) but I cant seem to use the messaging service. Anyone know how I can contact the Admin for a name update request?

Thanks
