Hey all,
I've been riding cycles for about 20 years now. Most of that time was spent on sport bikes and road bikes. About 6 and a half years ago, I decided that I was done with the sport bikes and wanted to continue riding in comfort and style. I sold the bikes that I had and upgraded to a 2008 Ultra. My wife looked at me like I was crazy because (as she stated) the Ultra is "an old man's bike". I was 33 at the time. That mindset didn't survive the first ride, when she quickly discovered just how comfortable and smooth of a ride that it was. Now it seems like I can't take the bike out anywhere without her.
Anyway, was looking for some info on a bike hauling system and one of my searches took me to this forum. I ended up reading thru quite a few threads, some related to my search and some not, and thought that this Forum would be something that is worth belonging too.
So, Hello from Waukesha, Wisconsin.

Welcome aboard Sportnut!!!
Welcome "Old Man" I wish I was as old as you. I'm 52 and ride a Sportster... I guess I'm trying to be a younger old man. I came to this forum after switching from Japanese bikes to my Harley. I've learned a lot form the people on this forum, I'm sure you will too.
Welcome from Mobile. Be thankful you have a wife who likes to ride with you.:thumbsup
