Default new user...hello all

Well, it's cold and snowing right now in NE PA and, since I can't find a snow tire for my 08 Night Train, I guess I am limited to just talkin about ridin...So, here I am. Let's shoot the crap! First bike was a Hummer...yeah really...at 15. Did some rippin on it then launched it into a quarry before my pop found out I had a motorcycle. 2nd bike was a 73 Sporty that I built from a dozen boxes of parts. I loved that bike but my ex didnt so, I sold it. Then realized I should have gotten rid of her instead...so, I did! Now, 15 years after the Sporty, I've got the wife and bike of my dreams. Of course, as with any wife, there were conditions attached to my buying a Harley...I had to buy her one too! Life is good. I've made many mods to her Sporty already and it's a sick, little ride. My bike got V/H pipes and a solo seat so far. But, winter's here so, I will be cuttin, weldin, paintin, and pinstripin. Goin for that old skool hot rod look on this one. Lookin forward to BS'n with ya.
