Recovering from surgery due to a bike accident. Totaled my street glide and the car. I will be walking again by July. The BL will be my next bike. I think z bars look good, but not apes. I am an ape *****. The rake does not seem to flow with apes. That's just me...

It's a great canvas thou. Go for yours.

Better day by day Dude. Thx! Almost have full use of my arm. Only thing I am waiting to heal is the shattered ankle. I feel the plates and screws at times. feels like a dull butter knife in my foot. However, if all goes right, I will be walking and riding my BL in July. Trying to save some of the season. Werd.

I'll be over in the Softy section raising hell in no time.
