My bad I wasn't ripping on the Pokher runs or you for going. We have street Vibrations come through my town and I hear you on the new riders that show up. I steer clear when that thing comes through.
I guess I am just not into the "biker" thing. For me being a biker is riding a bike, and I spend a lot of time on two wheels so I consider myself a a motorcycle rider but I ride Honda's and BMW's, Yamaha's Kawasaki's and everything else someone will let me throw a leg over or ends up in my garage somehow. A Harley was the first bike I ever rode on when I was just a baby in my Uncle's lap and I have always had a thing for them. Unfortunatly I have always had a thing for 90% of the people that ride them as well.
Congrats on the purchase, like I said I love my HD it would be one of the last things to go if times got tough but my 500 would probably be the very last......or my green truck but thats another discussion.
Here is the picture of mine I took the day she turned 90. When she turns 100 I am going to do something nice. She rolls strong with 95's a Mikuni, ignition and rollerized top with a big cam but I'm thinking of hogging it out a little bigger and maybe throwing a six speed at it. I think she deserves a nice present for turning 100. I like to roll around on it wearing a Honda shirt....pisses people off. They all shut up when I show them the odometer.
