Hi all from New York

  • January 5, 2012 3:54 PM PST
     hi all , just joined this stite and wanted to say hi. , I been riding for 10 years and belong to a family riding club , iI've owned a Honda Shadow 1100 most of those years. recently as a birthday gift i was surprised with a new H-D Electra Glide Classic . I always liked the honda , wanted to go bigger and always thought of owning a Harley. i am very happy with this new bike, its an awsome machine. I really enjoy riding it every chance i get .

    Thats a little somthing about me
    Thanks
    Joe P

    I wouldn't worry too much, the newer Harleys (last10+ years) are great bikes. Take care of your bike and it will take care of you. I put 150k on my 2002 Road King and never had any major repairs!

    Enjoy the ridin'
