Glutton for punishment I guess....
What was I thinking? I already have an '83 Ironhead Roadster that I'm still trying to work the bugs out of and now I went this evening and bought another one. It's a Paugcho hardtail, stretched and raked, has a girder spring frontend, Invader wheels, brand new tires, a 68 Ironhead engine with a dual throat S&S and 4 speed. The engine and trans have both been rebuilt and never put back on the bike. Also came with a couple of gas tanks and a custom oil tank plus 4 seats, drag pipes and 2 five gallon buckets full of parts. It's just a rusty roller right now but it's got a truck load of potential and for what is there I bought it cheap.....but why do we do things like this to ourselves? It sat in the PO's garage for 11 years and he swore that he would never sell it but now it sits in my garage. Hopefully it'll be a winter project and out on the road next spring.

Oh man...I don't know if I can deal with two more Ironheads. I'm kinda wanting a Shovelhead FLH.
