New Guy from Seattle
First off, my name is Ben.
For 15 years I have been asking my Wife for a bike. She has always said that I wasn't allowed to have anything that didn't have a roof, roll cage or seat belts. About a month ago she goes to a party with a bunch of co-workers (school bus drivers) and gets a ride on one of the other Lady's, Husbands bike. Not really sure if I should be mad or buy the guy a beer.
Anyhow, she comes home and tells me I can get a bike. She was thinking in a couple months. I was thinking a couple days. So, fast forward to today. I have my endorsement now and a 2005 FLHRI. I am trying to catch up as best I can and learn as much as possible.
I am part owner in a performance diesel truck shop and have been playing with diesels for years. My day job is working for Holland America Cruise Lines. I look after most all of the diesel engines in the fleet.
Still trying to figure out what these darn sparkplugs are all about....
At any rate, that is a little about me. Be easy on the new guy.

Hey Ben...welcome to the forum AND congrats on the bike!
Spent many years in WA (Seattle, Tacoma, Yakima). A good friend of mine is from Marysville - even went to his wedding there.
Tons of great places to ride in WA and the Pacific Northwest. Enjoy.

Probably would make the day a lot easier if a couple co-workers would roll a fatty before work.
