Hi all,

As a new member here...., I must confess..., I am a bikeaholic. I am 66 yrs old and have had this condition since I can remember. I have been actively riding bikes since I was 14. Like most bikers my age, I have ridden just about everything ranging from a 1947 Whizzer motorbike, through most European bikes, and of course, my current ride, an 08 Heritage Softail.

Have ridden enduro's, raced motocross for a number of years and retired from roadracing in 2005. I discovered that I no longer bounce when I hit the ground..... Seems, I just splat.

Looking forward to this forum. Although, not new to bikes, I am new to HD. I just picked up my first Harley (08 Heritage Softail) this past fall. I have ridden other Harleys, just never owned one until recently. Looking forward to learning about the bike and meeting other like minded folks on this forum. Thanks for letting me participate, I am glad to be here.

Captain Bob
