Hello from East TN and the Tail of the Dragon
« on: July 29, 2012, 10:04:57 PM »

I started riding street bikes when I was 14 following my Dad on his BIG Honda 305. After we got married my wife rode 2up with me until we stopped to raise some kids. We started back riding about 10 years ago and have not looked back.  I joined the site when I traded in my 09 Ultra Classic for our new CVO last month but we have been too busy riding and playing to post. I have already used the site many times to learn more about my bike and plan a few light mods and have been thankful for the help.

Not much on posting or figuring out signature lines, photos etc but I am pretty good at wrenching.

Welcome from Northern Michigan! My wife and I spent the first five years of our marriage living in East TN and we loved it. Kingsport was a great place to live.

Thanks for all the welcomes.
I was riding and driving the dragon before it became so widely known and we just called it Highway 129 to Robbinsville. Back in the late 70's we could go from one end to the other and back and hardley ever meet more than one or two cars. My best friend in high school lived in one of the ALCOA company houses in Calderwood which gave me a good excuse to run up to the curves.
