Default Greetins from Washington

Well I found this site by accident but it looks like I'll be here quite a bit. I have a 1980 FLT that is in pretty much stock condition with exception of the front fairing. My wife and I are looking to give it a good rebuild as soon as we can find time. I ride it every day to and from school so even finding downtime is hard. As this is my first older bike I'll be looking for plenty of asnwers and help. If you have a '80 that you have worked over please let me know as there are a ton of questions we have and no one seems to know the answer to. Okay, well thanks for your time and thanks to HDF for creating this space.

It's just a matter of prioritizing to find time to fix up your bike. Bike first, mortgage second.
