Default Gonna have my son as a riding buddy

Just got back from the Stealer, and my 18 year old son (Mini-Me), (if you saw him you'd say Maxi-Me) picked up his first Harley. We found a very nice 2000 Sportster 883. It's real clean, and has only 9k miles. They knew the only owner, and serviced the bike. Best of all it was in his budget.

I'm thrilled I'm going to have my son as a riding buddy!! I can't wait so do all you can to cause more global warming.

In an effort to deflect all the "This post is worthless without pics" comments I have a picture from the show room. It's an Aztec Orange 883, with SE pipes, forward controls, and nice saddlebags. I guess I gotta get Mini-Me to get signed up here on the forum now too. We have a foot of snow here so we won't pick it up till April.

Move over Cages, We now have a 2 Sporty garage. [sm=biker.gif] [sm=biker2.gif]
