New member from SE Wisconsin USA

[tomcatt]

Hi. I'm 73 and in South East Wisconsin USA.
I have a 2015 R9T I bought new in Dec 2014, and a 2017 Harley Sportster. They'll probably be the last of many motorcycles owned.
I worked in motorcycle shops mechanicing and then running parts and service departments. Then I got a real job as a certified welder in a coal fired power plant, and later fabricating replacement aircraft components.
I just like riding. The R9T is set up as a naked sport bike, the Sportster is a nice cruiser and is just finishing a 90 cu in upgrade / rebuild. They both run down the road nicely.
Glad to be aboard...

Welcome tomcatt! How many miles have you put on the R9T? A picture is helpful in allowing us to admire from afar.

Here ya go.
It's getting new tires. Reminds me how light the cast R1200R wheels are.
