Default Old rider - new to forum

Howdy all - My new rider and life partner, Tallannie, has been having such fun here I thought I'd join you all as well. I'm a 40 plus year on-and-off rider - mostly off for the past 15 years until a recent two years in China produced a pair of Chaing Jaing 750s (think Indiana Jones and all those WWII movies with German sidecar bikes by BMW.) They are Chinese copies of the 1938 BMW R71/75 - mine is 1959 - Annie's is 1962 - and a hoot to drive and mess about with! When we returned to the states, we enrolled in endorsement classes and Annie got excited about two-wheeling - and I am one happy camper! She bought me the 06 VTX for Christmas!!!! Can't wait for the wx to improve enough to ride regularly - right now we are dodging raindrops and wishing for warmer days . . .
