Hello From Louisiana
Will soon be first time motorcycle owner. Have always liked motorcycles but every time I brought up getting one the wife and family talked me out of it because they figured I'd get hurt on it. I'm 44 and I decided I'm gonna get one whether they like it or not. Funny thing happened this time I brought it up. No arguing at all. Actually just total opposite of past reactions. Wife even thinking about getting herself one of them new Can Am Spiders maybe.
I currently have a 81 Z28 Camaro that I have put about $9500 - $10,000 into so far and it is to the point now it needs to be tore apart and gone through in detail to make it right. I don't have a shop big enough to do that and I'm tired of it just sitting there gathering dust under a shed. I keep a cover on it too but still it's in the weather in my opinion. My plan is to sell it for $ or trade for a equal $ Harley. I'm currently in talks with a guy in Memphis with a very nice 2000 year model Dyna Low Rider with 38K miles on it. If all goes as planned, I'll be swapping with him in a couple weeks. If not I'll continue looking for one I like.
I have rode a couple of bikes before but not a lot. I am very limited on actual knowledge of them but I have a couple of friends that have Harley's. I've always had cars to fix up and play with. I'm looking forward to learning tips and stuff from you all.
Thanks for the add, Charlton
