The bikes a 94 Road King. I still have my old bike as well, its a 1982 Honda CB900 Custom.

I'm riding the same Suzuki GS750 I bought new in 1979. My wife and I dated on it and for a short time it was my only transportation.

Talking

HD74 DUDE!! I love the bobber!! Its so COOL!! Yall know I work for my dad in the upholstery shop, but you may not know what started the shop up? In '61 dad had a '56 panhead and the seat needed to be recovered. My mom had taken sewing as a trade while in high school, so she said she thought they could cover it. They did and the bike shops seen it and wanted them to start covering them for them and the rest is history.

While we lived in Louisville, KY we worked for the Louisville Outlaws, The Iron Horsemen, The Screaming Eagles and several others that I cant remember as of now. We done chopper seats when they were here the "first" time around. I havent taken time to find a pic of my bike yet, but I'm sure its around here somewhere?

Later dudes

Haha...the seat is quite comfy really....you get used to it.

The white triumph foot rubbers i bought on ebay...haven't seen a set for sale since though.....I must say though you can't beat the sight of a triumph bobber in the back of an f-100...they compliment each other really well..........

Thumbs up Skooters...

Trux…thanx man…NOW ya did it…thank you very much…<O</O

The Girl & I were JUST talking’ about this the other night about How kool would it be to have a skooter to toss in the back of the ’56 to take with us on long road trips…
<O</O

She was thinkin’ a newer skoot (of course) while I was thinkin’ an ‘ol Shovel (Sturgis) painted to match would be just what the doctor ordered…
<O</O

The bummer is…right about the time my MS presented (and I got the Effie for “therapy”) I was workin’ as an apprentice for a friend of ours here in Michigan but had to bow out ‘cause the studio is two stories…fab/metal working downstairs & paint studio/display area upstairs!
<O
I could not handle hauling custom tins, tanks, bars, frames, and such up & down the damn stairs…
<O
Broke my heart…been following Ron’s career since I started stealin’ Marlboros’ & Easiriders’ from the corner 5-and-dime…

We still keep in touch & run in to him and his wife at local shows and
“chopper-fests’”…ya can NEVER get that out of your blood…

Hey Fabman…nice choppa…I'm a little “fuzzy” this morinin’…is that an Indian frame or an AMEN Frame?…

Either way it sure is one sweet & low skoot man…

DB…Sweet ride man…We have a close friend that rides a Millie (sp?)…that’s waaaaay too fast for ME on two wheels man…gotta give you guys some serious props…
<O
ALBUQ & HAVI…NICE iron…
<O
MILLER..I hear ya man…
And to everyone...REALLY NICE IRON...
<O
Man you guys are makin’ me all misty…thanks…

I dont care IF it IS only 21 degrees...I need to go ouside & hug my truck...
