Hi all

Just joined , i ride an 07 heritage softail at the moment and my wife rides a 1200 sportster custom. I also do a bit of building started off with a few mods on bikes that we owned and a bit of custom painting, then painted my mates bike. My first build was a big bear sled which was imported in kit form which i built, painted and ran it for three years then sold it.Then on to a ground up low chopper which i receintly finished quite pleased with this one! i shall run this for a while and then decide what to do with it. I have receintly acuired a thunder mountain spitfire which has been neglected and intend to restore it . I know that they had a frame issue! but this one seems to have had the problem sorted. If there is any one out there that knows anything about these bikes i would be gratefull for some input! its based on a 1200 sportster, anyway thats about it for now i am sure i will find this forum very usefull.

Regards Tom
