Just wanted to quickly introduce myself.
I am Paul and at 40 finally giving in to my midlifecrisis .
Born and raised in the Netherlands but have been living on the Caribbean island of Aruba for almost a year now.
I've been exposed to Harley's from a young age as both my uncles had multiple. However, when I got my licence I went the full crotch rocket side.
Did track days, kneedowns, and crazy speeds before realizing that machines like that just dont make sense on the road.
I am fairly mechanically inclined so I turned away from racers towards bratstyle bikes and build my own little 500cc single cilinder Honda on a 3rd floor balcony in Amsterdam.
I didn't take the bike with me when I moved to Aruba about a year ago and I've been aching for a project bike to tinker with.
The lifestyle and roads here are very suitable for a beach Cruiser kind of bike so thats why I am on the lookout for a Harley.
I hope to find an Evo engined softtail but could settle for a Dyna or maybe even a sportster if the price is right. Would want to go beach Cruiser/bobber style so would most likely hardtail a Dyna or sportster.
I will have plenty of questions whenever I do find one so will be on this forum quite a lot.
On a Dyna somewhere early 90s. Fun little ironhead next to it On my uncles electra glide I think early 90s. My Honda FT500. Its a 80s 500cc single cilinder. I heavily modified this with other wheels, forks, rear suspension, carb, exhaust, lights, modified frame and seat.
