Hello everyone. Well, lets see here... I currently reside in the KC Metro working in the telecom industry. I am pretty easy going and can roll with the punches. I make a lot of stupid jokes (i.e. when i see a donkey i usually say what an ass). I grew up in SW Missouri, joined the ARMY when i was 20. I did 4 yrs from 97 to 01 and spent the whole time in Ft Hood, TX with the exception of a 6 month tour in Bosnia. Got out & moved to KC. I have been riding off & on my whole life. Most of my family rode back in the day so I grew up with all kinds of bikes from Harleys to Hondas.
I was very skeptical and hated to do it at the time but I traded in my '04 VROD last weekend and got myself a 2010 Road Glide Custom. In hind sight I am really glad I did. I am much happier with this bike than the VROD and that's what counts. Although, if you ask my wife she liked the VROD better. Since she doesn't ride very often, I say a happier rider is a safer rider right? While the VROD was an awesome extremely fun bike, and had gobs & gobs of power, I found myself trying to turn it into something it really wasn't intended to do, so I took the plunge to get the "Panther" (my buddies nickname for it). Found this website a couple of days ago searching for Road Glide stuff & decided to join up so I can learn about my new ride & hopefully make some new friends.

Welcome!!! Your going to find the forum to be loaded with good people that care about there rides (RGs or sometimes also referred to as Fuglys) as well as a lot of great info. Make sure you post some pictures of your ridenow and as you make mods on it. The best part of the site for me is seeing how changes look. If you look back on threads can preveiw what your 10' will look like with just about any pipe and windshield for example. Again, welcome to the "shark tank"

thanks for the welcome all. i have seen some of the bikes on here and man do some of them look sweet. lots of great ideas for for future changes. at this point i am trying not to let the mod bug get to me but i already made some smal changes. windshield, matching shifter pegs and grips. my previous bike was pretty loud so i am diggin the quiet stock exhaust right now but i am sure that will change before too long.

Masonc welcome! Nice to see another RG here in the Metro. Which one did you get? Any pics yet? If it warms up we should hook up for ride. We ride down your way all the time. I can always be talked into a ride and we're not far from each other. I'm up in Lenexa on the west side.

thanks again for all the warm welcomes. it's definately hard NOT to make changes to the new scoot, especially with winter coming (prime time for them). i have already looked at tons of pics on here & man there are some sweeeeet rides that have given me PLENTY of ideas.

got the vivid black with silver pin striping. lenexa isn't far from me at all. i am usually good to go for rides on sat afternoon/evening & sunday during the day. i need to be back in gardner by 6 so i can get ready for work later. let me know when you want to meet up. i can roll your way or vice versa. i am always game for meeting new people to ride with.

Lets see some pictures and welcome to the Shark Tank
