You hit the mark! I will bet the majority of the boys feel the same way.I still do after all these years.I could be long winded about what the lifestyle means to me,and always will.At least as long as I am able to move the bike around.You know the one thing we are all headed to,and without a doubt have in common.some of us are a little farther along.

I get asked all the time "why don't you get a new bike?" When I say "I am married to this one" I really mean that. Some people laugh, but I am sure you guys here will understand.There is not a single piece of my Shovel that I have not had my hands on. Ihave spent hours fabricating parts by hand that I could not find. That is part of my distaste for the Status Symbol crowd. To have a Harley and not ride it, is appalling.

My Harley is as part of me as my "real" wife of 20 years. I will never leave either of them.
