Qutta here 1 Year ago

Folks - after 6 years as a Road Star owner and forum member I just wanted to say thanks for all the help, community, support and laughs I have gotten from this forum.

I road the Roadie to the Myrtle Beach bike rally and ended up riding home on an Ultra Classic Electra Glide. I was hard to tell the Roadie good bye. This is a first class forum with first class members. I can not count the number of times I have been bailed out by members, nor put a value on the money I did not spend due to the information found here.

For those who have been here with me the last 6 years - thank you. For those of you new to the forum - enjoy the ride.

Oh no, you can't just walk away from us after all we've been through together! Hoping you'll still visit us on occasion. Don't matter what you ride. You're still part of the 2 wheel brother/sisterhood. Ride safe and know you're always welcome here. GP
