Hello, I'm a new member. I'm impressed with what I have read on this forum. It is refreshing to know that folks like you are still around. I bought my 57 Pan in 1974 and she is still a beauty. I read some of your posts to my wife and she said that the values expressed were hard to find these days. I started building my 1941 knuckle about 7 years ago, took a break to raise some kids,had a heart attack, thought it was all over.... but now....I have found a long lost friend again....building old bikes..one part at a time. My woman says she has not seen me so enthused about anything for several years (pre-heart attack) and wants to see me build the bike I have been dreaming of for many years. One of our first dates was to go pay off the guy that had my knuckle motor...it has been a ride down a rough road ever since but I'm alive and ready for one more ride.

Sounds like you have a few under your belt. My old lady doesn't understand "re-builds" when they run just fine to begin with..ha ha

Welcome and glad you are back to your Harley.
It's so much fun to build a motor cycle I am just finishing up my shovel head and kind of going to miss the long nights wrenching on her after work and ordering and receiving part on UPS I won't miss the credit card bills though
