Default Just started riding again after 40 years!

Started riding street bikes when I was in the USAF back in the early 70's. My first daughter was born in 1974 and a few years later I stopped riding and got into cars after we left California and moved back to Missouri. Well my oldest turned 40 last month so I figured I could start riding again. Got kinda burnt out on old Corvettes and Chevelles so I got an old Harley Fatboy. It sounds alot like my old '67 Vette with side pipes did. The riding part is coming back, just getting used to texting drivers and tailgaters. My oldest daughter and her husband and kids( my 2 grandchildren ages 8 and 12 ) live in Florida. She says I should come down for Biketober Fest or Daytona Bike Week. We'll see how it goes. So far me and the Old Fatboy are getin' along fine. So Hello from St Charles Mo. I'll be on the forum lookin' for ways to make this H-D seat (HarD) set more like my recliner. I'm sure I'll learn alot from you all.

Welcome.. keep your head on a swivel and just figure you are invisible. Things have changed a lot out there on two wheels...
