Sorry I haven't been here much lately, been very busy at work, and when not at work, home life has been just as hectic.
I used to ride a lot - I have an '89 Honda NX650 Enduro - Haven't been on it in like 4 years or so... gotta get back into it again - it's a BLAST.

Dusted4eva me and my dad have a 73 Harley Ironhead XLCH sportster it is a nice bike but it needs a few things to get running. My dad before this bike had a 2009 Harley Fat Bob that was a really nice bike to bad it was lost in the fire. What did you get looks like a Vstar or Honda. Our bike has a lot of upgrades like a bob tail fender, springer front end and more here is a pic of ours with me on it.

Rode the race type bikes up until before my wedding. 2004 GSXR-600. Way too much fun, and did way too many dumb things. But those bikes pretty much drive themselves they're so well balanced. Maybe eventually get a road bike but there are too many other things requiring my money. Keep the rubber side down and watch out for the morons on the road!
Another two week tour is nearly at it's end. Days off are coming. Going to load up the travel trailer and head to lake for some Walley fishing and kayaking. And can't forget the camp fire smokies and beers.

, I was looking at Harley, I just don't have the $$ for them. Maybe one day if I don't wreck this bike. 
That bike is rad, love the retro look.

Ya I like the look of it too we still have to add our sissy bar, we are going to get a front brake, we want to get rid of the purple in the engine but not sure yet on that. This Harley we are paying payments to a buddy of ours for a total of $3500 we are almost paid off too. When this is paid off and the 02 F250 is paid off me and my dad want to get him a Fat Bob with the 103 and deck it out and I will ride this bike (my dad doesn't care for the little sportsters but I know this little bored out 1000cc ironhead will keep up and make everybody deaf while doing it if you look those are shorty drag pipes I have heard the bike running before you can't carry a conversation over it at all). My current avatar pic is of a Fat Bob which is what my dad wants.

been retired now or should I say semi retired for 6 years. yes guys i'm that old. still have v10 engines in my blood only now they big marine 1250 hp cats inside a 58 foot sport fisherman. when not fishing i'm building hot rods with a close buddy for his customers, one was a write up in the march 2012 issue of hot rod deluxe . crazy build with a mercruiser 3.0 4 bangerwith a custom intake exhaust system backed by a modified to fit s 10 5 speed to a 8.0 ford rear
driving wise I had to down size to a 2013 1.6 ecoboost escape which a year latter still amazes me with 32 mpg runs down the highway to the boat

seems ford like every other car truck builder thinks a 8mm stud can do the same job as a 3/8 stud or bolt used to do.

bored again. Just had double surgery 2 weeks ago to reattach the bicep's tendon at both the elbow and shoulder. putting me into lots of down time, esp in prime tuna fishing time.
at any rate just wanted to say hello to a good bunch of guys unlike some in a certain Truck web site I know of where their own rules don't get enforced and foul language very common.
