Hello All

Having been a member for a long time it's been a while since my last visit. Personal life, work and a serious health condition kept me away from many of the things I love.
I changed my '15 CVO Ultra in 2018 for the 115 Anniversary Ultra and bought myself an additional "toy".
I started my HD life with a 1200 Sporty and followed that with a FXDS-C Dyna Convertible. In the last few year I started to regret selling the old Dyna more and more and I went in search of one. But, the old Evo eluded me. They were either too neglected, to far to view or too far out of budget.
Then I widened my search and came across the Softails. I fell in love with the Springers and I recently bought a '98 Anniversary Softail Springer.
6000 miles but with some shipping damage. Still way above my budget but, love makes blind as they say. I just love the sound of the EVO engine. The slow idling has that beautifully composed music only a truly passionate musician can come up with.
The old boy lives in the garage next to the Ultra and is awaiting front and rear fender repair and replacement of some non original parts that were used.
