I've made my final decision... I'm buying a fucking Harley!!! I'm buying a black '78 with a white flame job, new pipes, leather saddlebags, and not-quite-ape hangers... However it's not in running condition... a problem I'm most definatly looking forward to fixing... I'll have breathed life into my own baby! I can't fucking wait just to have it sitting in my garage... regardless of it working state! YEE FUCKIN HAW!!!


(god, I hope I didn't just jinx myself into not getting it! *yikes*)

Even though racing bikes are more my thing, NICE ONE! Just working on it will be enjoyable, and then you'll be able to cruise like a king to local bike meets smile Have fun and good luck

Fuckin A, brutha............best of luck.

I've been pricing them and hopefully I'll have mine within a year. I can see it now, the SG Run. Every year in October, we ride our Harleys cross country to Portland for the Big Blowout on October 31st! Of course it coul dalways end up like that Simpson's episode where all we do is ride around in circles and harrass shop keepers.

who's with me?

Went to go check out the motor today but Skippy was sleeping and wouldn't wake up!!! ARG!!! This is killing me... I WANT THIS BIKE... it's actually something I can obtain! It's no Dyna-Glide Low-Rider... but the '78's look pretty good and fuck...IT'S A HARLEY!!! My supervisor, a die-hard custom Harley builder, and I are going to give it a thorough inspection, and make an offer... If, the motor isn't completely fucked... in which case... I might just buy it anyways, for pennies of course, and have Earl (my super) build me a new motor for it... rock a sportster with a 1200cc in it... muwahahahaha!!! Anyways... I have to try and get some sleep before work... I just can't stop thinking about crusing around on my Harley... <sigh>

It's nice to see that there are other motorcycle freaks here. What do you ride?

My current scoot: 2002 Yamaha Roadstar - 1600cc!

I'mm proud of you stewed, you'll always have a better connection with that bike than you would if you bought a new one from the dealer...new ones suck anyways..good haul, even tho I'm more of a Vespa guy myself *titter* biggrin

Ok, now I really have to convince my mom *not* to sell hers, so that I can one day steal it from under her nose and be awesome.

*whimper* I want a Harley too!

my advice, having taken on many restorations of all kinds of bikes...

don't rush it to the road.

do it right the first time, make sure its to the standards you envisioned when you set out before you consider it done.
