    Well, not sooooooo old; still in my early 60's.  Been riding 46 years and that's about all I know.  Retired now and enjoying life on the road; between takin' care of our property and our dog.  Love my dog but she's a challenge when we want to hit the road.  Tough finding someone who'll take care of her.  Can't stand the thought of boarding her for long periods of time.

    I have a couple of bikes: '98 WideGlide and a 2010 RoadKing.  Ordered a 2012 Switchback  (just love that dyna chassis) and waiting for it to arrive, so the RK is up for sale.

    I have a wonderful lady in my life who holds on tight and loves to ride.  I'm a guitar player; well I play "at" it anyway. It keeps me focused when I need it.  There's more I could yap about but a little info at a time seems to be the best way. 

    Hope to enjoy my stay here.  Hope ya'll enjoy some of my stories of the road and pics to come.

    Peace

    Welcome Jimmy! Switchback huh? Love that bike but my King is still the King. Traveling with a pup can be difficult but worth the effort. I have been on the road via RV for the past year and my boy Riley has been my constant companion, except when I take Rex (the King) for a ride. Again Welcome!

    Greetings from the Sunshine State and welcome to CF. There's a local monthly bike nite here where one vendor sells a trailer designed specifically to haul your pooch. That might be one answer .. depending on the size of the dog.
