HD's are like a potter and his/her clay: you mold and mod it till you become one.

Mine has a soul. I firmly believe I didn't find this bike but rather, it found me. It was just what I needed when I needed it and likewise, I was just the owner the bike needed now as well.

It languished on craigslist with few showings. When showed, it would never start. I find it listed out of our mutual area on an ad the seller didn't even remember posting and one I couldn't have missed before. A showing is easily scheduled for the following evening. From the time I walk up on it, it's exactly the classic I'm looking for at exactly my price point. After just a few minutes of love and care, it starts and runs for me... on a 30* night in January after sitting for a month out in a shed! I am told later that when it started, the amazed sellers immeditely looked straight at my wife and said "That bike was ment for him."

Now almost 3 weeks later, the connection has grown. I know this bike and it knows me. Does it have a soul? God only knows but it has definately touched mine.

Soul, spirit and feelings are in the person. If the machine affects you in a certain way then it brings out that aspect of your person. Certainly does it for this man.

I think Mr. Bentwrench said it better than I've ever heard said before:

Powerfull stuff.
