warm greetings from North Texas

[hornetguy]

Just a quick hello... I just now found this forum, after being on all kinds of other gun, motorcycle, cigar, knife, and Christian forums, and being a lifelong, born and raised Texan.... odd.

I suppose, better late than not at all.... we lived in Lubbock for 42 years, then moved to the metroplex, settled on the north side, in Allen. Been here for 24 years now. Yep, I'm an official "curmudgeon".

Anyway, glad to be here... lots of catching up to do.

OLD?? Haven't you heard, the late 60's are the new 40's ?

I'm riding my anniversary present from my wife from almost 3 years ago.... a 2018 Road Glide Ultra... two tone red (you know, the FAST ones, lol) I traded in my 2008 Road King for it, and have been loving it. You ride? If so, what is your "scoot" ?

Yes, it has been a touch on the frosty side the past week or so, hasn't it? I actually plugged in the battery tender on mine.... first time ever. I usually ride it often enough, every day, if it's not below about 37 or so, or pouring rain.... I'm about to get out on it and go pick up our supper in a few minutes, though... 65 degrees today? Texas weather....

They absolutely are. And my 50s are the new 20s, it's reverse synergistic dontcha know.

Wow, quite the present, you must have been a very good boy. I gotta a piece of cake . . . once

After a long hiatus, I bought a '09 BMW K1300GT last May and have knocked down 12.4K miles so far.

BMW's are amazing bikes. I haven't ridden one in a long time, but I've ridden with a few of them.... great machines. You've logged a few miles on yours... I'm averaging just under 10k per year. I don't get to take long trips as much as I'd like, and it's only 13 miles to work, so that doesn't add up terribly fast. We did get to do a week long trip over to N Carolina a couple of years ago, did the Dragon, Cherohala, Blue Ridge, and other random roads. It was a "guys only" trip with a bunch of guys I go to church with. Great times... Two of the guys that went along were on BMW's. There were 10 of us total, but the two BMW guys had to come back a couple of days early for work issues.

thanks for the heads up about the motorcycle section....
