Hey guys, here's who i am. I am 68Years old ,retired truck driver. I live out in the country about 25 miles south of Tupelo Mississippi 6 miles off the Natchez Trace Parkway. Still do a little work driving from time to time. I am a Singer/Songwriter/Musician/Entertainer specializing in slide guitar blues, Lap Steel, folk, and Americana style music. Don't perform much anymore but i do occasionally perform solo at festivals, parties, and small venues close by. I have been riding since 1969, got my first Harley in high school, built my first ground up custom bike when i was 19. I have owned many bikes over the years, Honda, BSA, Norton, Yamaha, Harley Davidsons and rode by my calculations several hundreds of thousands of miles. I am a long time member of a large club and, although we are a Harley only club you can ride what you want within reason(nothing from Japan). Several brothers i know had bought BMW's and one had a K1300S which i took a liking to so i started doing research and settled on a K1300GT instead of the K1300S. A later model K1600GT was not to my liking. Found a K1300GT Premium with fairly low miles (21,000) and most importantly past the 18,000 mile service. Yes! I did my homework well. It had some some nice additions like Estrada pegs, top case, clear headlight cover, a louder horn, seats reworked with memory foam, Cee Bailey windshield, handlebar riser setbacks, and the Wunderlich clear fairing side pieces. Bought it about a year ago and even with Covid and still owning three Harleys i managed to put 6000 miles on it. Well that's about it. Like i said i'm off the Natchez Trace. It's a great road to ride from end to end. Here's a pic of the bike like it was when i bought it. i've changed some things around since then.
