Default Old Guy and New Member!!

Hello from Lawrence Kansas! Home of the Kansas Jayhawks and a few Old Harleys! I'm an old guy named Jim who loves old iron preferably Harleys. I'm an avid Harley man and have been riding them since 1971. Been riding bikes since 1962. My main rider is a 99 Heritage Softail Springer but my love is the old stuff. This one is actually a 1955 Panhead dressed out to look like a 36. ( fool anyone?)
I really have'nt checked this site out real good yet, but here I come ready or not! Name:  P6160005.jpg

Hey Jim, It looks like the Panhead has marked it's spot in your garage a couple times.

Gota house break um.

I just keep plenty of cardboard around and change the litter every couple of months. Keep em warm and they drip a little more than they should. It's all part of the care and love I extend to them, just not very good at stable cleaning.
