Default Hey all

Justa newbie hick from Maine saying hi, it's starting to get cold and the forum might have to be my Harley fix thru the winter. I've got an 81 Shovel that hopefully will be reborn this winter. Got new tanks, some chrome parts, etc, a boattail fender (that will look different) and I'm going to chop the front end... in other words sink money into the never ending dream/nightmare

Welcome! I hate to point this out, but it's been getting cold in your neck of the woods from Labor Day (and I'm being kind).

Can't beat New England foliage though.

Welcome to the site from the warm and sunny part of Maine. The yearly average temps here in Penobscot County is 70 degrees and the daylight is 17 hours year round.
Nah, just wishful thinking on my part. It's cold and dark here too, as you know.
Good luck with the bike and ride safe Mainer.
