Default CHROME-MAN!

Hey all!

My name's Wally, I'm from Effingham, IL. I'm 40 years old, married to my beautiful wife Teresa, play and sing in a band, Poprocks www.poprocksfanclub.com, work a day gig, and ride a '06 Dyna Super Glide Custom. Very cool forum here, glad I found it!

My band just played the "Chromecoming" weekend at the Harley dealer here in Effingham (Legacy HD), and for a stunt, I dubbed myself "Chrome Man", and rode up to the stage on my bike, dressed in chrome with my guitar slung 'round my back. It got a lot of laughs and stares!



here's my bike:



rock on,
Wally

thanks! Glad they hooked you up. Legacy HD here in Effingham is a good dealer.

Your streetbob looks sweet, and will look even sweeter with the new exhaust!
