Default Aloha from Hawaii!

More Hawaii (Oahu) checking in.

Short story... I'm a second career Texan that moved to Hawaii. Working full time, and looking for a house. Need to get the house so I can have a garage for the next bike.

My '99 FXDL did not make the trip out here, so I am between bikes. I will have another Harley by years end unless something goes terribly wrong.

I've had a Low Rider for the last ten+ years, and a Sporty before that. I've ridden most of my life.

I am deciding between a Fat Boy, another Low Rider, Softail Deluxe, or a Breakout... This is going to be a tough one... I love the FXDL, but I'm thinking it's time for something more comfortable. I'm pushing the big 5-0. That Fat Boy sure looks good. The guys at Cycle City are going to get tired of me stopping by.

I'm going to mostly lurk until I pull the trigger on a new ride.


<--- Yes, ridden through Cut-N-Shoot. :-)
