Default hi there from gainesville, go gators!

Im 19 and an engineering undergrad here at UF under the Navy ROTC program. I drive a 1992 sportster 1200. I have a 1982 vette that ive been restoring as well. heres a photo of my bike.



these photos are about 3 years old, couldnt find any recent ones at the moment
Its had some work done to it, my dad owned it before me but he passed away two summers ago (he also owned the vette). I dont know all thats been done to it other than it has no gauges, no speedometer, tach, fuel gauge or turn signals. ( I use hand signals but i dont think half the world understands them anymore) I use it daily around town and have had no major issues with it. I love it and it has memories of my dad with it.

Sorry about your dad. Bet you think of him eveytime you're on the bike. Fine looking sporty. Welcome from central Washington. Great to have you as part of the family. You'll enjoy your time here, when not out riding. Smile and show off those bug covered teeth. Geezer
