Nah, revenge won't fix the paint job...

My first Harley ('62 panhead in photo below) in 1969 someone poured about a pound of sugar into the gas tank... fortunately I didn't have a fuel guage so I took the cap off and looked inside before I cranked her up... I saw a pyramid of white stuff in the tank. I was living in an apartment complex in Garden Grove, CA then... I guess someone didn't like me starting the Harley early mornings...

Either that or they knew I was just back from Vietnam and they were anti-war.

Don't know, never found out.

Said all that to let you know... there are always nutty folks around but most are good.

Congrats, great bikes yea!?! upgrade, dress-up or what ever you want, its your baby.

Instead of getting mad, toast them, write in the dust that people who cant afford a good bike buy Metric. Or, I'm not interested in missing all of Gods great country (too bad Obama is selling it off) crusin is best.

Thanks Guys. It didn't hurt the paint at all. Just really ticked me that he done it. Jealousy is an ugly thing.
