"I definitely cant stand black bikes lol  I've heard all the stupid harley jokes too. I had to get a smaller bike than you because me weak and short lega couldnt handle a full sized cruiser. This bike has shorter shocks, a chopped down seat and forks that are lowered. I triked it but my problems led me to sell it last year-- i'm ok now though Thanks for showing us your bike Scotty"

"My dad introduced me early to bikes and qiuckly fell in love with Harleys, even when AMF took over and nearly destroyed the company. I still have my 82 FLH and over the years changed the looks of her a few times. I'm in to ape hangers and flat finish's at the moment.

Sharp rig. I had to have the foreward controls replaced with stock foot pegs so i could reach. I would have to stand up with ape hangers. I like the way they lookthough. I remember on the death valley run in1969 i saw a pack of angels riding bye and one guy had such high bars that he was standing up to ride.

Hey all. My first bike was a 1963 Honda Dream.Anybody remember those? It was a 305 cc.the first large bike Honda exported. wish I still had it. Into my third Harley now. 2003 pearl white fat boy. I belong to the "Widows Sons" bike club and the war department and I go to Laconia N H bike week every year and love charity poker runs. My dream though is Sturgis. As soon as I figure out how to attach pix I will.

Back in the mid 1970's my buddy had a Honda 90 that his dad gave him at the age of 13. Since he was too young to have it on the street, we rode on the trails with it. That thing was indestructable.

just like anything back in those days, they lasted and were easy to fix. 1972 I taught my future wife how to start the 64 Comet I sold her by jumping the cellenoid. She impressed a lot of her male high school friends.

My first bike was an '02 Nightrain (Softtail). Sold that for an '03 Screamin' Eagle Road King that I went and put another fortune into (purely engine work). Became disabled a few years back and sold her last summer. I cannot seem to pot a picture; probably haven't commented enough yet...

Beautiful bike WR. I love that style handlebars. Looking to put them on my Fatboy. Rallies are a blast. We go on as many as we can.

I am 39 now but as a kid we used to always go to the dunes in Oregon, so in 02 I decided to buy a 4 wheeler and race the pro/am short track nationals was great times. caused a devorce in the prosses, HAHA GOOD TIMES! my friends of mine would go out in the woods and goof all day on the logging roads when I was not racing. I have had a few good crashes with soem costly repairs to the quad. I was passing for second and cliped his rear tire and broke the handle bars off with my nads had a 9 hr ride home with a bag of ice. its funny now but damn that hurt!
