Default Hello from Missouri

I guess I should at least say hello, been watching this forum for a little while. My wife surprised me with my first Harley for Christmas, a 95 FXD convertible in immaculate condition lots of chrome. Can't wait for spring. My first ride on it was Christmas eve with a windchill about 0 degrees... I didn't notice...

I've owned lots of jap bikes, been riding for over 25 years. My wife used to have an 883 hugger, and we both enjoy the wind in our hair...

I'm sure I'll have lots of ??? as I get more familiar with my new ride...

Anyway, wanted to say hello, will post pics soon...

Rich

Welcome to da board. Sounds like your sweetie is a keeper! Enjoy the riding, and if you ever head down Texas way, drop a line and maybe we can hook up for the 25 cent tour.
