Own a Harley once you are hooked for life! Hi, I'm new here and this is my first post. I'm 56 and I've ridden bikes off and on most of my life. I've owned a Kaw, 2 Hondas, and a BSA. Three years ago I bought my first Harley an 85 Sporty. I only had it a year because it was just to small for me so I sold it and bought a Honda 1100 Shadow ... big mistake! I hated the bike. Sounded to raspy and handled poorly. I sold it three weeks ago and bought a 99 FXST ... I'm in love! My only problem with the bike is I can't get off the darned thing. This forum is great but what's the little icons for?

Those little icons are called 'smilies' and they are there to have fun with when you're not riding. Welcome to the forum and watch your mailbox closely for the "JimmyK Welcoming Pack". It's not much of nothing, but it's the thought that counts!:p
