Default New old guy!
I'm new here, but older in years. I've been riding since my high school days back in the '60's. I bought my first Harley 7 year ago, a '93 1200 Sportster that my wife named, 'Miss Scarlet.' Since then, I've changed everything on her but the engine/transmission, forks/triple tree, frame and fenders. (The Harley, not the wife!)

Anyway, I plan on hanging out here awhile. I'll probably learn a lot, and maybe I can contribute a little too. Here's a pic of
'Miss Scarlet.'
