Default Been gone for a long time.

My poor old Sporty has been sitting it the garage for several years just barley ridden. I sold my RK and my wifes Anniversary model several years ago but I just couldn't let go of my Sporty.
I thought about selling it but it's 14 years old now and I know no one would give me what its worth so I got it out today sucked the old gas out of the tank put in some new gas and she fired right up and runs just as good as it ever did.
Looking forward to riding the hell out of it again.

It's never too late.

And that is a good looking bike!

Nice scoot man!

Put the cover on mine this morning. Rained today for the first time in weeks.

That is a cool-looking bike, OP. Get out on the open road and ride the heck out of it. Sounds like it is one of those bikes that just plain runs well. Gotta love that.

That's an awesome bike, I'm quite envious. I have very little knowledge of bikes but I'd have never guessed it was 14 years old, it's in great shape!

Huge fan of the exhaust as well.

Haven't seen a tank with leather side panels before, what's the story behind that? Doesn't look like any sporty tank, either. Nice to have a little more range than a peanut tank gives you; have a fat boy tank on my 883.

She's a real looker! I took about 15 years off raising kids. I got back on 8 years ago, will ride as long as I'm physically able.
