I definately aggree. your daughter is very pretty Bawanna. You must be very proud of her. And you look quite the distinguished gentleman.
TusconMTB, yes indeed I still have that Harley. It's a 92 model, and I'm learning how to do quite a bit of wrenchin on it. I blew the motor couple years ago so sent it in to HD for a factory rebuild. Various articles I've read about their rebuild shop made me choose to go rebuilt rather than a new S&S or other name brand motor.
I had on a full face helmet on and the chin bar blocked my view of the warning light without tilting my head down, and hadn't checked the oil pressure guage for a few minutes, and I started hearing some noise and shut her down but was too late.
I think the oil pump gave out. I hit the off button when I heard unfamilar noises and coasted to the shoulder, and didn't get a look to see if there was oil pressure or not.
Anyway it had too much damage to save so it was off to the rebuild shop.
It's mildy enhanced with .060 shaved off the heads, Mikuni Carb, Andrews EV27 cam, upgraded ignition, and Vance and Hines 2 into 1 pro-pipe (was the number one rated pipe for mildy enhanced motors at the time). I haven't dynoed it but I think I gained around 20 ponies with those mods. Anyway, it keeps up pretty well with some others that have heavily modifed engines, although they are mostly on baggers and pulling a couple hundred pounds more than my bike is. That is my first and probably last Harley, unless I move to trike when I get older. A lot of folks have offered pretty good money, but I can't bring myself to part with it, even though it seems sometimes I turn wrenches on it more than I ride it. It will be 20 next year, and a lot of folks would have traded it years ago, but I just keep fixin it and riding, it's mostly little things that go wrong, so it's not really that bad to keep it running.
I do wish I'd put a 6 speed tranny in it while it was tore down, but wasn't in the budget.
