Default Hey everyone!
My name is Suzy, I live in Oho and have been riding since I was a kid...started on mini bikes, then dirt bikes, then Triumps, then Harleys. I have owned the same shovelhead for 28 years! I call her Black Betty.She is a 1980 Sturgis..she is a part of my family and have never even considered selling her. I have ridden all across the country, Canada and Alaska too, camping just about all the way!..I love to ride! My MC has had three major changes since I've owned her. When I first got her she was all chromed out, with drag bars, after a few trips decided to set her up for road trippin, got rid of the drag bars, put a windshield on her got some saddlebags. After the trip to Alaska, which put a hurtin on her, I wanted to go back to the original look only with matte black satin finish...she looks more like a bobber now. No bags,windshield just of a more sport look. I'm just looking for friends on this site, not looking for a man! So that's my story and I'm sticking to it

Welcome to the forums from Lafayette Louisiana.

I always love to see and hear about people riding older bikes and keeping the same bike for a long time.
