Default Harley's cannot be trusted.
It starts out with my Red 2012 Street Glide:




I bought home a Black 2001 1200 Sportster for is to play with:




next thing you know.......I have a red/black 1200 Sportster to store also.






I'm almost afraid to see what they all do next.

I bought the black one as a project. After seeing it on Facebook, I had someone ask if I wanted another one. With the price he gave me, I couldn't say no. I had planned on flipping it, but my wife likes it, so maybe I'll get it running for her. Here's what I've done to the first one so far....

Needing more Harleys...is like needing more money. Makes perfect sense.
