Ever just play with a Harley?

thanks plummen.i had to deal with so many pr!ck$ to get that far that it was hard to look at it and not get p!$$ed about how someone tried to or did screw me on nearly every piece of it.i have never had to deal with so many pr!ck$ on anything as i did on that bike.i have had my 1978 z1r since i was 15 in 1985 and had all kindsa people help me with kawa parts lottsa good experiences.building that shovelhead was like no one thought that i deserved to build such a nice bike.which freaked me out cause i was building it and payin the bills.when these old die hard harley riders would see a young guy come in and order nice parts they would get all p!$$y and act like i should start off with swap meet parts.anyways its mine now and ain't goin nowhere,anybody wants there birth certificate revoked come mess with it!:woohoo: one thing i do know about bikes is no one bike can do all the things i want out of a bike.thanks for the props plummen.

Wow, both the Shovel and Knuck look really nice! I especially
like the story behind the Knuck. Any bike with father/son history
is a keeper for life.

I have been looking into airbrushed painted bikes recently since I started doing it on my own project.
A few things I noticed is that there are far more custom painted Harley's than anything else. My girlfriend recently got me a book on Airbrushed motorcycles and all but 3 or 4 out of like 50 were Harley's. Still trying to figure out why that is.
I also noticed several biased comments by the author about the greatness of Harley's over other brands. So it defiantly goes both ways and not just on blogs but in a published book.
I personally think it's just about personal taste. Which do you value more, form or function ?

When I was a kid at 8 years old I thought Harley's were the coolest. Once at a gas station I asked a Harley guy how many CC's his bike was. He got all pissed and started yelling about how his bike was measured in HP. All I could think was what jerk. I am just a dumb kid.
When I got old enough to ride. I soon realized the difference in performance and I have never looked back.

I prefer functionB)

a shovel is nice but a red knuckle just makes my wienie wiggle.
plus it has history.

and on the plus side, there both inside, no one commented on that yet.
you must be single.

if i want a bike inside, i have to get a divorce and buy my own house.
( that bitch :laugh: )
