Hey everyone, I just wanted to take the time to do a proper introduction here on the forum. My name is Richie and I am the proud owner of a 09 Street Bob tha I just picked up this weekend. I had been bikeless for about 2 years now because I sold my crotch rocket before my last deployment to Iraq (I'm with the 101st Airborne Div) and have been wanting to replace it since. So this weekend I was driving around with my family and my wife asked me "Honey whats wrong you look miserable?". I then apologized and said "sorry baby its just a really nice day out and everywhere I look there is a guy and his bike and I just miss riding alot." Then she said, "Well I can't have you looking like that anymore, lets get you a new bike!" Next day I was riding away on my new Street Bob. I'm definitely a lucky guy.

 

Congratulations. Great bike..great wife. Thank you for your service and welcome from central Washington. Real happy to have you in the HD Forum family. Be safe. Geezer

Hello from Hope Mills NC. My son is in the 502d, we were just up to see him before the holidays.

Thanks for your service and enjoy your new scoot.

Did ya get it at Appletons??

 

Welcome Richie. Post some pics of your new bike when you can. You are a lucky man. It is funny but my wife did pretty much the same thing. I ordered mine and it came in right before I left for Iraq last time. It was pretty rough knowing that it sat in my garage all lonely while I was gone. Good folks here and welcome home.

 

I'm in 2nd BCT as well; small world. No I didn't go to Appletons, I had heard some stories about them ripping off Soldiers so I took the ride to Bost HD in Nashville. They had a huge selection with great prices and people. The shop looks like a 50's diner too...the whole place had a great vibe about it.

 

Thanks, I definitely will. Knowing I had an awesome ride just sitting in my garage would definitely drive me crazy.

 

Welcome aboard and thanks for your service!
