Let's see if I can do an intro, 52 years old started with bikes at the age of 8, mostly dirt, then started riding sportsters at 16 and worked in a Harley shop to support the habit. Over the years have owned many bikes from Kuckles to Pans but always loved the speed and handling of a sporty. Still have my 68 XLCH stroked to 68 Cubic Inches. Had my own bike shop for a few years doing motor and speed work, but went back to school to get an Engineering degree. Twenty years ago got into antique bikes and owned some Indians, still have a 48 Chief. I took a few years off from riding a while back but got re hooked when I went back to Laconia and they were giving Demo rides, ended up buying a Triumph T595 (fast bike) and now own that as well as my daily rider a Ducati ST2. Both my wife and I love to ride and put on 10K or so miles a year on the Bikes, mostly the Duc and Triump, cause that starting that evil Mag Sporty has taken a toll on my Knee. I am looking to learn what everyone is up to now days, and hopefully give a little help when I can. I guess that's about it.
