Default First post!

Hello all from sunny Southern Kalifornia.

I inherited a 2002 FXDWG with 10,000 miles that is all stock and am already pretty excited to start making some changes. The bike was my dad's, who passed in February, and had ridden Harleys since the early 50's. Before I get the "oh sorry for your loss", just know he rode this bike up until Halloween last year and passed at 79 years of age. 50 plus years of Harleys aint a bad life at all!

Im not a newb to Harley's either, having obviously been around them all my life, and am currently the brother and brother in law to the winners of America's Most Beautiful bike 2012, 2013 and 2014.

I look forward to sharing info and of course, asking dumb questions!!

Welcome from the heart of Dixie. How about some pics of those winners? Or at least a link.
