New from Minnesota 3 Years, 3 Months ago  
Sorry I should have introduce myself first.
Old timer (49) starting up again. The priorities are old enough to take care of themselves now. (If ya know what I mean ). Used to have 4-5 bike and a lot of toys about 16years ago and now a couple years ago I started looking for another bike. Buddy’s of mine wanted me to buy Harley (He owns the shop). Took several of them for a spin and felt like a small bike feel. Jump on a 1700 Midnight silverado and like the big bike feel and also like the more bike for the bucks $$$$. It didn't take long to get that feeling agian !!!!

You have a great web site and look forward to talking with all of you and always looking for great advise.

Thanks cathemall.
