hey from abilene texas. I just bought my first HD. It is a custom with a Paughco frame and 1979 1000cc ironhead. I have always loved bikes but went the way of four wheels. I have the four wheelers I want and now it is time to pursue this passion. I look forward to the information and comraderie of this site.

Welcome Jay,

Nice looking ride. Try to post some bigger pictures. How's the weather down there. Been in single digets here for the past couple of nights. No riding for awhile[:@].

This is a great forum with many knowledgeable people. Have fun!

Hey thanks for the warm welcome! Your bike is awesome. I love the paint theme. The weather here is okay. Its about 40 degrees today but will be close to 70 this weekend. I am trying to post larger pictures right now but the site wont upload my pictures. They are resized to 640 x 480 but it just locks up when I hit the upload button.

Finally figured out how to add the picture. Here is a better (bigger) picture. Mine is the black one with flames. Not the yellow one in the background! I also figured out how to add it to the original message after I posted this one.
