Default Another new guy

Hello all, joined up a couple days ago, just bought a 2001 FLHTC to compliment my 2004 BigDog Ridgeback (talk about opposite ends of the spectrum!) I'm 43 years old and I have never really cared for the so called geezer glides and big touring bikes, but I gotta say, this bike is awesome! Its like driving a big old boat! so smooth! anyway, Im sure you all will be seeing my name on here more and more, great place for info! [sm=icon_rock.gif]

Glad you found us. I like the looks of a Big Dog. If I had the cash, I would have one of those as my second ride.
