Just joined the forum today and this is my inaugural post (gotta start out on the right foot). Became a Harley owner in June ('13 FXDWG) and really like the ride.
I suppose I am in one of the "statistic" categories being a fairly new rider and over 50...but I don't intend to become a "statistic". My aim is to become more proficient every ride, and that is one of the reasons for my joining the forum.
Have logged over 5k miles already, riding my bike to work through the Altamont hills on a nearly daily basis. I try to avoid the freeway because it's just not as much fun as the winding back roads.
Thanks, and looking forward to making your acquaintance!
