Howdy from TX 2 Years, 8 Months ago  
Hi guys & gals. I've been visiting the Road Star Clinic for a few years but never thought to post an intro. Sorry.

I started riding late in life (age 47 in May 2002). Being female, I never worked on any type of vehicle before I started riding. Now I look up "How To" articles & try to figure it out or give the info to BF.

I got my 1st Roadie ('02 Midnight)in Sept 2003 then an '05 Black & White in May 2009. The '02 was mostly trouble free as long as I didn't let the dealership mechanics touch him. I still have the '02 but he's living in the garage with pieces parts removed; he was in an accident. I can't decide if I want to keep him or sell him. Either way I figure it's the perfect opportunity to learn to work on my bike. I haven't put many miles on the '05. YET!

Oh, I almost forgot to say I'll probably ask some really dumb questions.

Welcome!! How do you figure 47 is late in life? Remember, "old" is always 20 years more than your present age..
