Title: New kid on the block...
Post by: BaldHDbiker on March 31, 2011, 10:53:40 AM
I joined up yesterday and didn't see the introduction thread (newbies.. lol).

Just wanted to say hi and properly introduce myself. I was thinking about going sly for quite some time but took the plunge Saturday. I volunterred to get my head shaved for a good cause (St. Baldricks) and raised some money for them in the process.

I love the new look and feel. I had a full head of hair and have gotten many compliments on the new look. Now that the white of my head is tanning a little more everyday it looks even better. I'm still trying to get a nice shine though.

Like most of you have said I should have done this much sooner. Oh well live and learn.

Welcome BHDB!

Thanks for the welcome guys.

I have an Ultra Classic 105th edition and love it. Just need to get some warm weather so I can ride it. This winter doesn't want to end....

Same here Dude...... it was about 48 degrees today. I picked my Bike up from the dealer this afternoon (1000 mile service) and got about a 15 mile ride in. Came home, put on my new windshield from Long Ride Shields and then put on my new highway pegs. I didn't get to go back out after the installs but it's going to be about 60 degrees tomorrow so I'm predicting a nice long ride.

Nice looking anniversary edition.... my one riding buddy has the Fatboy version from that year.

Thanks for the welcome.

I'm sorry to hear you lost your mom. I always have a helmet on while riding.

Ride safe!  This weekend has been a bust for rides--getting tax material together and to the accountant yesterday, bills today, ugh :-\.  I had thought about a ride but with the temps pushing 90, rides are an early morning thing from here on out, plus one of the main bridges across the Mississippi is closed for improvement this weekend.  Next weekend is going to be different, a cool front is coming through so I will be making up for lost miles come Saturday with temps in the 70's and low humidity predicted C#)P.

I got an 80 mile ride in today along with two of my riding buddies. Over the mountain and all country roads. A pretty nice ride!

I put 180 miles on yesterday and only about 50 today but it felt great to get back out for the first time this year.

At this point I'd be happy to ride around the block, lol. You guys' are getting me psyched. I miss riding and can't wait to get another bike, been a while now. I may not be able to get my H-D, but I'm going to start looking at my options.  ;)
