FNG Ammoman Intro

[Ammoman]

Hey bros... Found your site recently and have really enjoyed it. Just wanted to let you know who I was...

When I was younger I used to ride Triumphs in New York late 60s and early 70s. I joined the military continued to ride off and on but had to sell everything every time I relocated. Got married had kids then riding was put on the back burner (I mean waaaay back burner). I retired from the Air Force (20 years in explosives / Bomb Dump). Went back to school Industrial Maintenance / Electronics and ended up in the soda pop bottling / canning industry. My youngest graduated from college and I went out and bought an 04 Night Train... luv it (2 yrs and 20K miles)but still long for the sweet trumps we used to ride and wrench on. This is my quest...
I know most here seem to ride hardtails and rigids... hope I can fit in, can't offer much but appreciate what you all share. Thanks for the opportunity.

Welcome to the board. Don't worry about what other people think about your ride -- if you dig it, that's all that matters bro.

If you have pics from your 60's-70's riding days, those will go over well here.

hell, if you have pics of CURRENT rides, those will also go well here.
yer not the only one with a swing-arm here.....i have one, and i'm sure that there are others.
its just not as fun to go for a 500 mile ride when your kidneys are bouncing off of your ribcage!

Thanks Man, Sorry no pics of the old days... never owned a camera or thought I we would live long enough to enjoy em.

After a trip from Long Island to the Smoke Out & back you'd need one. A few of us from Utah plan on the Smoke Out West in October ought to be a blast.
