Getting caught up- New in August

hedgehog1 · Nov 18th, 2009, 07:50 PM

Hello all, My name is Don and I have been riding since I was 16. My first cycle was a Suzuki GT380. Moved up to a '73 Kawasaki Z1 900. Still have the Kaw and have managed to keep it in great shape with 11k miles. I wanted something I could ride more often without feeling like I was hurting a classic. And I always wanted a Harley. I finally decided in my mid life crisis I was not going to just talk about it my whole life so I started looking. Months later, I found a deal I could not walk from. Bought an 09 Roadking FLHR painted sunglow red in August with 48 miles on it and every stock option. A dream come true for sure. Have about 400 miles on it now. I live in Southern PA and commute to Baltimore.
I am new to sites like this. After reading some posts I figured even though it has been a few months, why not give a shout out to let you know I'm here.

Welcome aboard Don.

Don, Welcome aboard from the St Louis area. Enjoy the ride! Back there in my riding past I had a 1972 Kawasaki 750 H2 Triple. It was scary quick but I would have been better off with your Z1 of a later KZ.
