dare i say it?
Oh sure you can say it,wont be anything I havent heard before.Its one of those things though that I can what ever I want about my brother but everyone else better tread lightly.Its no big deal and I understand its all in fun.I do ride my 47 year old bike though,in fact when I got out to the West Coast people assumed I trailed it out from Wisconsin.I do like the fact that most people couldnt (or maybe wouldnt want to)keep an old girl like this running and drive7-8k on a summer trip.Brakes are my next big upgrade.When I got it the bike was pretty original and I started pulling off and replacing all the stuff that didnt work (Linkert carb,6 volt,leaky org.gas tanks,etc.) and all the old Harley guys were screaming that I was nuts and ruining the value and all of that.Shoot since I ride it everyday Id like it work half way decent.I kept all of the old parts though,not that Im ever putting it back to stock but I might sell all of that stuff some day (org.seat,bags,tanks,etc.).
