Default Howdy.

Figured I would stop in and say hello. Have an 05 fatboy, did a little work on it paint and a few other little odds and ends here and there. Got lots more planned for her, but the wife keeps saying "baby steps". Anyway a little back ground on me, I am an electronics technician on a drillship, working in Nigeria. Got the aforementioned wife and a daughter and a couple of grandsons, one of them not even out of the hospital yet, he was born a couple of months ago, three months premature, but he is now almost 5 pounds of rippling Texas muscle! Well I guess I am rambling here Have a good un folks!

Thanks to all of you for makin a fella feel welcome. Yeah I believe that I will kick off the ol' boots and stay a while. So far I have been totally amazed at the help section here. I am a member of several other Harley sites but none of them have nearly as good an area for that.
