Even if you did everything you would still have to contend with your past of playing with boats.

I wear a rag on my head so I can keep the helmet cleaner. I wear Mechanics gloves and protective shop glasses over my prescription glasses. I wear hiker boots, regular jeans, a T-shirt and a jean shirt. I have a goatee that took me 5 years to grow out that would take others only 6 months. Lmao! I hate pirates and being around other people. I work on my bike mostly because I'm cheap not because I think I have to or because I'm some super wrench. Oh yeah, and I love Sportsters because I saw them in the 70's as a kid and thought they were badass long before I knew the differences between Harley models. I may suck as a biker but I'm still having fun.
My hat's off to you. You know what you like, go with what works and what you can afford, and don't put on airs when you post. You don't "suck" as a biker-you're the real deal. Love to go for a ride with you sometime!

Nice Dyna in your signature pic.

Default Gotta Agree!

Not much of a biker? Gotta agree! It would never take a "biker" 6 months to grow a goatee!!
