      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hi everyone, I wanted to post about the past present and future of this forum.<br />
<br />
This forum started as a hangout created back in 1997 by Dave who owned a shop in Arizona until he retired. I took the reins around 2005. In 2007 I created the new domain name Bike-Talk.com and the forum went through many upgrades over the years including the last migration to a robust server host. I&#039;ve covered all of the annual and monthly costs to this day to keep this forum free from member dues or blasting...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I am considering buying a 7 x 12 enclosed motorcycle trailer to tow my motorcycle and to use as a base camp. Seems like all trailer dealers and manufacturers are in the state of Georgia. The trailer I am looking for has the three colors and Harley logos on the sides. I don&#039;t want to drive to Georgia. Does anyone know where I can find a trailer close to California?]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I want to get into riding. Always had quads. No dirt bikes. Not sure what to spend money on. A small used honda rebel to get started or cheap bobber(something in that area)? Or do i go all out and get something nice? I&#039;m not a real big guy so some of the bigger harleys and others scare me for a first time rider. Any advice for a beginner? (Indian scout would be my dream bike. Just to give you an idea what im lookin for) <br />
