    Hello,
    I am from Virginia, USA. Just purchased a 2018 Bobber right after Christmas. I have been out of the saddle for almost two years due to near fatal collision with an SUV. Lucky for me. I have no recollection of my accident or the week before. Needless to say it was a crushing experience and my 2015 Bonnie did not survive. May she rest in peace. I also own a 2005 HD Road Glide for those long trip but I was looking for something lighter and more manageable. Needless to say, it has been a long journey to get back on a bike and a nightmare for my wife. Looking forward to riding as much as I can. :grinning::heart_eyes:

    Welcome aboard Angus. Sad tale, losing a Bonnie like that. ;)

    Chill out on your Bobber buddy, and enjoy the ride.

    Welcome mate, I found that taking an advanced riding course helped renew my confidence after a serious non fault accident which wrote off a new BMW R100RS, I don’t know if you have such courses over there.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forum :D
    Well done for getting back on, had a big off myself back in 2006, thought I would lose my left leg at one point, just can't keep a daft biker down though!
