Default Hello from Alien Land

Howdy all. I am new to the forum but by no means new to Harleys. I've been riding since I was about 6 years old and been on a horse or something for all my life. Motorcycles, primarialy Harleys are my life, my love, my blood, sweat and tears. I live, eat and breath Harleys. I own 3 myself plus i crossed the line yesterday and bought a Honda. Now before you all get a rope and all that it's a Honda Rubicon 4 wheeler. It is cool as heck and I think I am going to really enjoy it. Or it's just another toy to work on and see if I can make it go faster.
My bikes are: 2000 FLHTC, 95". I did the build and she is a fire breathing dragon. She'll lift the front wheel pretty much on command and smokes 103's all day long.
Next is my under 500 mile cruiser, a 2004 Road King Custom. I love that bike and she is about to go in for some open heart surgery soon and become a 95"er too.
Last but not least is my 05 Springer Softail. I have taken great pains to make sure I try to keep it looking as nostalgic as I can and not put anything modernistic on it if I can help it.'
Aside from that I seem to be the neighborhood wrench and have a pretty loyal clientel. I just contracted to restore a 66 Pan Shovel and I am very excited about that project. It is about 35% there now. The engine is about 85% complete but needs some of my finesse, It has a brand new 4 gear tranny and is ready to have some work done to it. I receive it on Tuesday and can't wait to sink my teeth in on it. I'll try to take some pics of that project.
Aside from that I am single, 49 or about 21 days away from being that, in body only, I'm still 29 and holding in years. LOL
I enjoy long walks on the beach and........................oh sorry wrong board. LOL
Bear with me while I try to figure out this format.
I am known as Spiderman but I see we already have a Spiderman on here. I am the original Neighborhood Superhero but I won't impose on our previous Super Hero and cause him any problems and just be know as Jim or you can call me Spidey or anything else but late for supper.
Well I hope that is a proper introduction. I don't want to come off as some kind of know it all but I am fairly knowledgeable so if I can ever be of help to anyone that's why I am here. I am also here to learn too and always keep and open and very honest mind.
Hope everyone has a very good and safe 4th of July and I'll be looking forward to meeting you all. Drop me a line anytime about most anything.
Hey I just had an idea. Just to keep things straight and so I don't cause a problem with the other Spiderman, how about SpiderJim? If that works for you guys and gals then it's good enough for me. Later, SpiderJim.

Hey Spidey

Glad you dropped by, now here is one awesome guy, he can give ya an answer to almost anything, I know Spidey for a while and he is one heck of a guy, If you need a hand with navigation, give me a yell!

There's a nice feature if you click on a members name at the top of the reply named "PM" . It sends a personal message to a member off the board when he signs in like this!
