Default Newbie checkin' in ...

to this board, that is. HD rider for 31 years. Current is an '87 FLST, but it's in stealth bobber mode now. Basically always ridden chops or bobbers. Hate chrome; gotta polish the stuff. Like stainless steel, wrinkle black! Lookin' forward to hangin' around here.

Hey welcome aboard.

I'm all about the wrinkle black finish too! Got an 05 Night Train coming in March!

Cheers!

Welcome,

There is something to be said about a dark bike. I like the look but it has too be the right bike.
Bet it looks good. I have chrome everywhere. Ride for 2 hours clean for 4. Its not that bad but i know what you mean about high maintanance. Dont be a stranger,come back often.
