Awesome, thanks everyone!!!  This made my day seeing this!!  I apologize it's been awhile since I logged in, I have been busy converting an enclosed cargo trailer to a toy hauler so my mind has been occupied.  All the bikes looked really really nice!!  I am hoping to attend some shows this year and possibly mid-Ohio and would love to meet anyone on the forum who is going to be there.

Thanks again!!
