Damn I felt like an idiot. Cost me another hundred to fix the chips.

If I had dropped the tank.............lets not go there..............

The "equalizing" hose sprung a nasty leak and sprayed gas on my nice shiney chrome.

Had to drain the tank, wash the bike, get new hose, and take a well deserved ride.......now I have to get the friggin water spots off of her............

Scott - looks BEAUTIFUL!

One thing I forgot to tell you... get Bertha in bright sunlight, and take pics WITHOUT a flash. Using a flash will bounce back SO much light from all that chrome, you can't see a thing!

I guess I can stop worrying about Bertha now. I know she's in good hands. In fact, she's never looked better!

ENJOY... and RIDE SAFE, my friend!

OH! One more thing... Bertha doesn't LIKE getting WET!

"I swear none of us went within 10 feet of the bike Dad!" was the response during interrogation. They had no idea how it ended up in 3rd gear either.
When you have teenagers, you find out that pain in the ***, and pain in the neck, are not just expressions! Good luck.

Thanks Ken! I thought you already new you could stop worrying!

I knew, for some reason, the first time I saw her in the for sale forum, I was gonna figure out a way to get her. Then, some guy offered me exactly what I needed for my Kawaharley..........the rest is history.......

And, I cant wait to take a picture in the sunlight! Flash pictures are no good with this much chrome........

You ride safe as well and THANKS again........
