Hello from Norcal 2 Years, 6 Months ago  
Hey everyone, lifelong motorcycle nut in Norcal is new to the forum. I've been through all the sportbike stuff and got that out of my system. I'm a longtime Yamaha guy, so a couple years ago when I wanted to stop hunching over a sportbike, I got this to start touring on:










I still have the bike and the GF and I love taking trips on it, but I got the bug to get a thumpin' V-Twin to cruise on, so after test riding a bunch of bikes, we picked this up about two years ago. We've been having great fun on it and we got our intro to cruisers without having to give up too much in the corners:










However, recently we've been feeling the need for something with a bit more wind protection and storage, plus the Warrior won't do that cool lopey idle, so last weekend we picked up this beauty. It doesn't have a scratch on it and only has about 10K miles. I've got plans to batwing it and put RSV bags and trunk on it, but until I get those done we'll just cruise it as-is and have some fun:










I'll be hanging around a bit on the forum and picking up some cool tips and tricks! First tip I need is how to fit all these bikes in my garage along with the dirtbikes and jetskis! LOL!

Thnaks everyone, glad to be here!

Takehikes, we'll have to hook up for a ride or two. We do an annual Valentine's weekend 2-up ride up your way, but we cover a lot of miles and do a lot of twisty, goaty type roads, not ideal for cruisers. Most of us use our "adventure" bikes for that ride (V-strom, Multistrada, BMW GS's, etc.).
