Default Envy..

Yep, I'm in envy..

My first bike was a mini-bike. My next wasa wrecked,early 80's (which was in early 80's) CBR-400 or something er other I purchased for $500. I loved riding so much, I used it as a street bike, and a dirt bike... I was 14 and had no license.

After I got my driving license, I sold my bike to get a 4 wheeler as I rode my friend's Shadow from time to time to knock off the nick.

I started getting older, and found myselfracing 4 wheelers (250r), and breaking bones, which kept me from getting another street bike. I just knew I'd kill myself before I was old enough to purchasebeer.

I was over 35 before I finally thought I grew up enough to have another street bike, which I've since gone through 2 I could afford the past 3 yrs.

I'm currently now working on getting a HD, which I hope to be able to get by this time in '08. I think it's been in my blood for 20 yrs, but am now just realizing it. The last 2 yrs, I've done 20k + miles/yr, and I now realize a Rk, EG, or UC is what I need to add to my stable. I've been taking over a year trying to figure out which would be best for me/wife, and I'm working on getting my first HD.

Anyone who has more money than they can burn who would likehelp this poor boy get on a HD, pm me for an addy. I'm going to have one somehow, but any assitance is welcomed! LOL

Oh, hello froma lurker and future HD rider, finally posting. I guess I like this place...
