Default New guy from Chicago
Hey guys,

Name is Joe, and I am with alittle social club that goes by Half Fast Chicago. I have had a bunch of bikes and recently (like as in today) just sold my 07 Ducati Monster project for a 1998 Road King Classic. Always wanted a bagger to play around with and make into my own version of what I think it should look like. Pic of the bike as I picked it up is below:

Look forward to being an active member of this forum, and getting some ideas and direction for the new project.

You can check out me and the rest of the Half Fast guys @

Hey Joe welcome to the HDForum from a South Carolina graybeard. I've been going thru Half Fasts web site,very impressive.Having lived the first 30 years of my life in the Chicago area,64 next month, I feel that I speak with some authority when I say NO kechtup on a Chicago dog and the best place for them is Superdawg on Devon and Milwaukee.Other then that, you and your club have fun and ride often and safe. Beezy
