It's strange to see so few people excited about Harley's here in the forum.
Glad to see I am not alone here though!
Probably because we were originally an all Suzuki forum. It's great to have you HOGs here.

Thanks Trapper. I was a bit worried that maybe Harley owners weren't very welcome around here. It's nice to know we just have to bring some in!

What you own a Harley!

You better not let P.E.T.A. find out.

Please don't ask me to explain it.

Do you have any more pics of yours? I think she would like it a lot, and get more excited about the basket case if she saw how cool it could look when it was done.
I shall restrain my comments on this one.

for the rest of you. Nice LOOKING bikes you have, but you can keep em'. Though I might take a buell.

We had both bikes in a show today, so I have a few new pictures now. It's hard to get a good picture of the paint job on the Shovel because it reflects the colors around it.

The The Springer got 1st in the street bike division and the Shovel got 2nd in the custom division

Thanks y'all. The show was a lot of fun. I can barely wait for the next one, plus it gives me more chances to get better at motorcycle photography!
