I'm a bit spoiled for choice these days although the Ironhead is still in project form.

Haven't owned a car since moving to CA in 2003 so my bikes see a lot of miles...I'm happy to spread it around a bit, but the evo just feels the best. I wish it wasn't the case as there are fewer left on the road as the years go on.

Here's the beauty...

Yes it is.... Thanx for the pic....

Nice looking bike there!
Nothing much to do to that one!

Very nice score! A '99 FXR2 in "Arresting Red" is an amazing find in that condition.

Well, since nobody else has asked...how much did it lighten your checking account?

Hopefully this comes through. It is an 87 FXRC #687 of 750 customs made that year. 68K miles, new top end. Runs very strong and a very fun ride. Still has its original Paint. Picked it up for $4K in a fire sale.
