Default Sorry Everyone!

When I first came on to this forum I never introduced myself. I just started asking for help.

I am from South Carolina. I have been riding bikes for years and they have become a passion for me. I have been into custom painting for about 7 years. The orange bike you see started out life as a black 2000 Fatboy. One beautiful day, all that changed. I hit the back of a Mercedes running about 60 mph! OUCH! What started out as fixing the bike and maybe some cool paint, ended up being a year (off and on) long project. I feel that I am a better rider because of the wreck (I now know what the interstate feels like on your elbows and knees!) I hope to make some good freinds here. Sorry I didn't introduce myself sooner.

I think the asphalt ALWAYS wins the battle, just depends on if you can get up and walk away.[sm=icon_quiet.gif]
