Default New guy from Vermont

Hi all. New guy from Vermont. Just wanted to introduce myself.
I've got a 98 Road King that I'm anxiously waiting to ride when the weather warms up.
Want to also thank you all for the wealth of knowledge you so generously share here.

Welcome to the forums, should be a nice break from shoveling snow all day! I'm a native of VT myself, most of the family are from the Caanan area of VT and around Lancaster NH.

Ah, nice area. My brother went to Castleton state for 4 yrs so I would go visit from time to time and have to drive through Rutland.

Thanks for the warm welcomes.
This is my first Harley. Got it about two weeks ago. I was able to ride it about 40 mi. home from the dealership. I really like it so far.
