Default H-D evolution too.

I like to think back on the bikes I’ve had as well. For some reason the Harleys are the only ones I have pictures of. Hmmm.

This was my first. 1958 XLCH. This picture was taken right after I finished the build. It was mid-summer 1992. I was 17 years old.




Number two was my 2005 XL1200 C. This bike was just fun. I miss it at times.




I swore I wouldn’t ever ride a bagger too. I decided I wanted a bigger bike for road trips. By the time I compared all the big twins, I decided the King met all of my requirements.




Next to come, I hope to someday get the ambition and funds to finish my ground up build.

The project was started about 2 years ago. I designed the frame. I also have designs for other components including a girder front end. I am doing the fabrication a piece at a time. I haven’t felt the need to rush it. I am looking at building a new house and shop right now, so I haven’t been working on it.
