Hello to all! Name is Eric, everyone calls me SweetPee which is a long and not so exciting story. Don't really look anything like a "sweetpee" LOL! Anyway, I guess you could say I am a MC enthusiast without a bike. I enjoy working on stuff, basically any vehicle, adding modifications, and enhancing performance. My father has a 06 Deuce FXSTD/I, which was always the bike I wanted, but he beat me to it. Anyhow I currently serve as his maintenance & customization go-to guy I guess you could say with the other things he owns. Problem is I really know very little about the eccentricities of a bike, for instance if you make one mod how it affects this or that. So I am here to learn.
My own personal & current large time consuming hobby is jeeping, specifically rock crawling. I have a 04 TJ rubicon that has been modified quite a bit if you know what your looking at/for. I try to get out as much as possible and continually improve its performance. I find that many jeepers have harleys and vise versa. Kind of cool since both groups have a strong camaraderie between its members and help support one another and their communities.
Anyway, there is my intro. I am sure you will catch me in the softail section probably asking newbie questions as usual. I am going to try and use the search first though.
