Hi, and thanks for the welcome ..

OK as requested ...photos ...this first one is the sporty I am riding at the moment





This is the Shovel project ... slow going ..full time job wife and five kids doesn't leave much time !!




These two are of my 'first love' a '96 sportster sport ...bought for me by my bride..I really loved this bike ..the realisation of a lifetime dream







and this is how she ended up ...after a serious fire where I worked ...broke my heart !




That's me ...hope the pictures work

Welcome, Rod! I don't have Scotch running through my veins, but I do have a bit of Maker's Mark.[sm=alcoholic.gif]
Sorry to see the scorched Sporty, but the replacement looks nice too. Have fun on the Shovel project.
