Default why i bought my harley.
I bought my 13 SB a month and a half ago because when I changed the chain and sprocket on my 88 katana 1100 gsx, the clutch stopped working... I spent 4 days trying to fix it, bled it 4 ways, used a butt load of dot4.... Clutch didn't work... So, I bought a Harley, fiance was pissed but she got over it... I had a bunch of fence building material in my garage, til I built my fence today. So I decided to clean out my garage. When I pulled the katana out, I put it in first, pulled the clutch and started pushing it. BEHOLD! the clutch slowly freed up, now the katana works... Sweet, now the fiance is pissed again... But I'm happy as hell, that katana is fast, comfy and fun.

I'd keep both of them lol Harley's are fun, and so are sport bikes. I've road my buddies GSXR 1000 and it was a blast. Have fun, and stay safe!

The fence turned out awesome for the fact that I'm an amateur and did it alone.
