Hi there, just checking in for the first time!! I've been looking through the forums today and decided to sign up and say Hi!
First off a bit about me, my name is Matt and I'm from sunny England, just turned 31 and recently married. To pay the bills I'm a service tech for a company that provides games machines, jukeboxes, pinball and pool tables.
I'm very much at the beginning of my bike journey, I'm one of these that has followed the custom bike world from a far after being introduced to it via the likes of American Chopper and the Motorcycle Mania series a decade ago (say what you like about what OCC and WCC turned into but they must have opened so many eyes to the Harley and Custom worlds).
As it stands I don't ride and don't own a bike, so why am I here?? I'm here to learn, over in the UK we're not blessed with the exposure that other parts of the world have to the v twin scene. My aim is to take my interest to the next level and get a bike, maybe not an HD straight away as they command a premium over here but one day I'll get there!!
Hope to speak to you all in the future and hope to learn from you all!!
Welcome! Buy something used and get some miles behind you, then take the Harley plunge when you're ready. I ride a few other bikes, but love my Harley more than most.
Cheers!
