Default First ride

I traded around and ended up with my 78 ironhead ,I took it out for its first ride after putting it back together(was apart ) ,I havent rode a bike in 15 years and it felt damn good to feel that wind in my face and the thunder of my bike I cant believe I waited so long .I still have quite aways to have the Ironhead back like I want it but I am looking forward to the time spent working on my new bike and the rides in my future.I hope To meet some of you on the road !!!

Got my 1970 XLCH a year ago. It had been 29 years for me. Just got back from a brisk ride in the mountains of New mexico this evening. Loved it. I am working mine up the way I want it as well. Always a work in progress, but that's the fun of it.

Enjoy, be safe-Steve
