Default New guy saying hello,PICS added below vv
I've wanted a Sportster for a while (don't have one yet),but hope to have one this year.
I do ride a dare I say.. a Yamaha FZR 1000 that absolutely flys,big fun.
I also have a Hodaka ACE 100 I'm turning into a retro late 60's early 70's street legal road racer wannabe and a KZ 550 rat chopper project.
I've owned a bunch of bikes in my 39 years,but alas no Harleys ( unless you count a 250 2 stroke dubbed Franken Hog,but thats another story).

Welcome to the board, glad you found us. We'll talk your ear off about Harleys, so if you're not sure you want one, this might be the wrong spot...being here makes me want another one!
