Default WTH happened?

I don't know WTH happened to me but I use the be the cheapest SOB on the planet when it came to harley's and gear. Always bought basket cases and built my bikes on the CHEAP and they looked it. Leather jackets from flea markets and ebay for $10. Cheapest boots I could find (that the company paid for with their meager funds). Now I'm riding an ultra limited, wearing Wesco boots and fixing to order a Langlitz jacket... I am now the guy who I used to shake my head in amazement at... something's wrong.

Well, I have come to the sober reality that what ever I buy today will most likely last the rest of my life... which at this age might not be that much longer! So I might as well get "the good stuff".

Be sure to tell them to put the gun pocket on the right side so you dont have to let go of the throttle to get your heater out!

I picked up a pre-owned/new Columbia (cowhide) jacket and had them re-build it to fit me for about 1/2 the $$$. It has L&R gun pockets now. The thing weighs about 12+ lbs after re-building.

Langlitz makes the best phuk all the rest.

Yep... with the new Langllitz I'll look like the typical "hobby biker". Brand new leathers, boots and shiney new EG. But there will be no denying my filthy faded smelly colors. They tell the tale.

What 1911 is that? Got myslef a Nighthawk. I'm young (30) but I find the good stuff works better and lasts longer so if you think about it, you're saving money. That's the way I explain it to my OL at least...

It's a Caspian Officer frame and slide,Schuemann Ultimatch bull barrel,EGW titanium firing pin,ISMI springs,Wilson combat beavertail,MSH,and magwell.Doug Koenig skeleton hammer. Ed Brown disconnector,ambidexterous safety,mag release and slide release. Aftec Millenium extractor,Trijicon Tritium night sights,Larry Davidson grips,VZ grip screws. Frame and slide are mated by Accu-Railing,which involves machining the frame for precision ground rod bearings,and a matching radius is then cut in the slide. I bought all the components,Doug Jones built the gun.It's chambered for .38 Super,shoots lights out out to 150 yards,nice small carry gun with a lot of punch............................................. .................................................. ...
