I just wanted to say hello officially , I live about 30 miles straight west of downtown Chicago . Grew up in CT , where I rode my whole life, dirt then to street once I was old enough. I always had Kawi's but always longed for a DUC. Once my kids were born I gave it all up , but now I am happy to say I am back in the game . I bought a lightly used 2008 S2R 1000 from a local HD dealer who got it on a trade in and couldn't be happier. Thanks to all the people on this site they made the buying experience much easier and I was able to know a lot before going into it . Thanks James

Welcome and congrats on your S2R, looking good. [thumbsup]
I see you already found your local group, hope you get to meet up with some other DMFers for a ride soon.
BTW, I used to live 30 miles due west of Chicago (although I grew up in Chicago itself). :)
