New Harley rider from Michigan

#1 Unread post by wngdweeler »

hello all,
my name is chris and ive been into riding other peoples bikes as long as i can remember, lol.
growing up in michigan i also rode snowmobiles since childhood with my family and friends, a terrible
accident that put me in the i.c.u. and instantly killed my best friend, riding partner, and brother,(i miss you D) also
took away my desire to sled. for those of us that ride, its something in our dna...we cannot resist, and after getting back on a sled
for the first time in 3 years(it will never be the same without my bro) its not for me anymore but, cruising on two wheels continues to be therapy for my soul. i recently purchased a 07 HD 1200 custom and looking to get out there with my fellow riders and "just keep l.i.v.i.n."
thanks,

:welcome2: Chris!

I'm really sorry to hear about the accident and your brother. I bet he would be proud to know you are again returning to the road and to the joy of freedom you both shared together.

You'll meet new riding brothers on the road, we all may not be able to fill the empty spots like "D" did but we will all give it our best shot.

Enjoy the community, we are a great bunch.
