Howdy from the land of fruits, nuts, and flakes.

Post by Formerbiker » Sat Apr 09, 2016 12:53 pm

Guess I will jump in here from So. Cal. I own a Henry .357 Big Boy and an H001 and love them both. I reload .223, 9mm, and .38/357. Going to the range is one of my passions since retiring. Other interest is RVing and Ham radio.

Oh, the user name refers to when I used to ride Harleys. I just had one close call too many and gave it up. The people and traffic here are just crazy.

Found this site from Rimfire Central. The other Henry site didn't have much activity.

Welcome aboard, Glad you found us and I see you have met Sir Henry.
Larry was a frequent poster on the Ruger.net forum and had a way of stirring the pot. :D

Make yourself at home.

Welcome aboard, Formerbiker! Enjoy your visits.

Yup, those close calls are a good reason to hang up the helmet and replace it with some Henrys.

I rode a lot, too, but had some good and "quiet" roads in northeast Kansas. Sure don't think I'd chance CA highways. I always wanted a Sportster 883, but never got there. My last bike was a Honda CB900 (1981 model), and definitely not configured like a Harley! ;)

This one had a 5-speed trans (dual ratio giving 10 speeds), almost as smooth as a Henry lever. This "sub-transmission" let me select a "high" or "low" range for the five gears. That provided the effect of giving an overdrive 6th speed for cruising, which I did a lot of that. But that low range really could move that 900 speedily down the road!!

Miss the wind whistling by the helmet....
