Mom rode on the back of Dads 1950 FL, So I rode before Birth. Mom told me stories of Dad and his Buds laying them harleys down on the bars at night, with a tear in her eye she would tell me how the sparks would just fly. As a kid on my bicycle, one day in the Bay Area the Angels rode under the freeway overpass I was on. What else can I ride!

well I wanted to join this forum. Back then you needed proof you own a Harley to join. Then even after that you could not start a stupid thread until you had first posted replies to other threads.
Now days any troll can sign up and help me get my post count up.

Because you don't see women dropping their panties and whipping out the twins for a Shadow.
