Default New Old Guy from Wisconsin 1st Harley Woot Woot
New to the forum. I've had several bikes in the past.

But; I just bought my first real (motorcycle)...Bike.

She's just right for a retired Grandpa.

New to me, 1997 Harley Davidson Sportster 1200 Custom.

She is in above average condition, with 12,000 miles on her. My Sporty came with the basic extras that I wanted.

She came from an older Gentleman who has serious health issues. He took his last ride two years ago. 2016 if he is still with us will be his last Christmas.

His name is Greg R....if you would, please send a prayer or two his way. I'm sure that he'll get them if you send them.

My regards, Double Ott aka: Tom
