New to the site waited 34 years
« on: July 24, 2014, 02:47:39 PM »
Just found  your site
I picked up the FXDWG2 about 3 weeks ago and have been steady fixing and replacing,
the dealer dropped the bike or more likely a freak'n ape jumped on it!
this was between the time I agreed on the deal and from the time I took possession!

I kept a open mind,
being mechanically inclined and all!

but last night I thought I had just about got all of the repairs taken care of and then noticed the handle bars are also bent!
so, Derby cover, clutch handle and grip, the plastic piece that holds it all together the scratches on the fender and well the big ass dent in the tank still needs to be addressed!

but I'm still keeping an open mind about it,
since the notification to AMTC in Arlington has gone on death ears!

now the "Waited 34 years"
I'm 62
at the ripe, dumb ass old age of 29 I thought the last bike I had would look better imbedded in the side of a automobile!
enough said
this was building up riding from 16 to 29 on nothing but bikes made to do 10.25 in the quarter mile

so after buying and building 26 Ford classic cars and trucks I've decided to get back on 2 wheels and have some fun
My Beginners class at the local Harley Dealer starts on the 31st
I think this time I learn the right way!

Welcome to the site from The Lowcountry of South Carolina!
I hope this may be of interest to you.
Attending a GTG is the best way to get to know the members and put a face to those screen names. Many a lasting friendship have come out of these GTG's,
So. if you want to meet people, ride some awesome roads, kick back and have fun, come to one or all of the GTG's. ( For the newbies out there, GTG = Get Together )
Make your plans now and avoid the rush. In other words, stop pondering and get a hankering and make reservations and attend.
See ya'll there.
The GTG's are in the event section of the board.

Welcome, From the Land Of OZ!,              It is nice to see a re-entry rider that is smart enough to take a class, well done.   That class will be a lot cheaper than several pounds of flesh.
