Hi all, my name is Stan and I am a new member here, and mostly new to Harley's, at least as an owner. I grew up in Maine on a small island and my dad has always been a biker. When I was old enough I would go with him to bike shows around the state, Winterport Drag Races were always a favorite. While I grew up around HD's, I took a different approach and fell in love with sport bikes as a teen and had a few over the years, starting with a mid 90's Ninja EX500 and then upgrading to an '05 Suzuki GSXR750 in college. The last bike I owned was an '03 CBR 600RR. All very fun to ride, but as I age and the years of playing basketball on a concrete gym floor take it's toll I find that if I want to stay on two wheels I need something more comfortable for my back and knees.
My father recently handed down his bike, what I believe to be an '81 FXS. It has been sitting for a few years and I'm excited to get it back on the road. I'm really new to learning about the Harleys but I enjoy doing my own work and will take my time to learn how to address things as needed. I'm sure there will be many questions along the road, and I look forward to sharing my progress and making some new friends while learning the ins and outs of the Shovelhead. Here are a few pics of how the bike came to me.
Welcome to the hood and the joys of shovelhead ownership, warn you now it can be an addiction. Questions about the bike pop into the shovelhead section of the forum there's very knowledgeable guys in here to help, not much we can't talk you through.
