Default Baby, I've missed you

The 05 wide glide has been sitting in the garage and unused for the last month and a half. I needed a project and bought a 78 Honda cb 750k a year ago and spent a lot of time and money to turn it into a café racer. It's been finished for a month or so and I have been having a blast on it. It's small, light, unique and goes like a raped ape. The downside is the Wide Glide has sat.

Last Friday, went to meet the guys after work, it was a nice evening, thought I'd take the Honda. It wouldn't start so I fired up the Harley.

Oh My God, did it sound great. It sat so low and comfortable I had to check the tires to make sure they weren't flat. When I hit the throttle, it rumbled and it took off.

I'm sorry, I was unfaithful, I will keep the mistress (Honda) on the side, but I now remember who my true love is.

No replacement for a hd but I miss my cb750. If I was ever on a death wish it was in the 70's.

If I did this right, a pic is attached. As for money invested, I probably could have bought a sporty.
