Hey guys and gals, great site. I'm Bowzer from Chicago. I just sold my shovel chop and upgraded? to a 2004 fi fatboy. I've been "playing around" with motorcycles longer than Discovery has been a tv channel. Mainly HD and anything British. Along with the fatboy I have a 1966 BSA a65 cafe racer and one of those "newer" Royal Enfield Bullets. (for sale btw)
Isn't it funny how this hobby can make you an oucast ten years ago, makes you cool today.

Welcome to the forums from the Arizona Highlands. As to why it is now in to be a biker, times change; how many times in history were we at war with our current allies? go figure.

Did somebody say something about pics?

Welcome to the Forum Bowzer,

I'm from East Central Illinois (Charleston). Only around 2 1/2 hours south of you. Enjoy the forum, it's a fun place to hang out.
