Default Hey from Upstate NY

Hey, names Shorty from upstate NY. I ride a 73 FLH and a 04 Heritage. I,ve been riding scooters for about 30 years now. Seems like yesterday when I bought my first scoot. Time sure does fly when your having fun. I have 4 kids and a mess of grand kids. Live on 80 acres with my ole lady, two of my youngest kids, some horses, beef cows, chickens and a pit bull. And we all get along. I do electrical construction . When I aint working or it aint snowing, I ride as much as I can.

I bought my 73 at a police auction in N.J. in 79. Had everything with it but the radio. That bike was the ride of the times, nothing better. Great picture you have there.

I lived in Syracuse from 1975-82, and still have friends as fgar north as Watertown. NY is a beautiful state, but the winters are soo cold, and I used to complain about it. Back then my friends tried to convince me to get into snowmobiling and skiing, but if my nose and feet are cold it just ain't fun, no matter what it is.
