New Guy from upstate New York

[hugobetz]

My name is Hugo, I live in Selkirk, NY and I've ridden bikes on and off for about 35 years. My first ride was a 500 Triumph and within a few months traded up to a 1965 XLCH. Later I got into street rods. My last rod was a '32 Ford three window coupe which took me 2 1/2 years to build. Sold it to a guy in Long Island and got back into bikes. I'm a mechanical engineering tech with the Army and have completed two tours in Afghanistan. I have a 2000 Night Train that's been chromed out. I bought this bike used in Texas from on my computer in Afghanistan (Ebay). The only issue I had with the bike is that the rear rocker box was warped and I replaced them with a new set of TP's that I also bought on Ebay for $200. I enjoy reading the posts and have learned quite a bit from them. I added a 1996 Heritage Softail to my lineup. This bike will go to Florida with me this winter when I retire.
