Greetings

Hi,

I rode many many miles on a new 1971 Electra Glide. (Thanks dad.)

Just bought my very first motorcycle - 2009 Super Glide Custom. I said to the sales guy, "Security system? Really? The oil slick underneath used to work fine."

I traded in my other hobby - I am/was an instrument rated private pilot - because my wife tells me it's too dangerous. So I bought a Harley. (Please don't tell her about broken femurs and road rash and stuff like that.)

Oh yeah, one thing. It's amazing being able to make out vehicles in the rear view mirror instead of just seeing blur.

Riding a bike is safer than flying an airplane???
You have her wearing the hood, don't you??!!!




Where did you fly out of?? When I lived in MA and I flew, I flew out of Hopedale (1B6) and most recently out of Norfolk (MA07) long before it closed down.

BED (Hanscom) for about 6 years. Then 3B2 (Marshfield) for about 5 years. That was then...
