The only good things about all this wind is helping seeding to progress, doing work in my shop and flying kites...

Hey I don't know if any of you guys heard about the accident just east of Lampman that killed 3 young male adults. I knew all 3 and two were close friends . I just want to to remind everyone that Drinking and driving effects everyone so please if not for your yourself do it for your family and friends and find a sober way home if you do end up drinking.

Thanks, Cole.

Sorry for the loss of your friends there Cole. It's always tragic when something like drinking and driving happens... and your message is true.

It does effect everyone

Cole, Glad to here young people like you talking with responsibility like that! so many kids now a days do not care or think nothing will happen to them when they drink and drive. It show's you have smart head. I know form personal experience what it is like to lose people close to you to tragedy.
my thoughts and prayers to you and your friends
Dean

Its hard to keep up with the technology of the foreigns I think, just due to harley having a certain image to live up too.

I also get why ya want one bike instead of two, and I think a Harely would be a great purchase, even if they MAY NOT be the top dog in technology or quality (and im not saying they are bad either!!)

Hell of a nice day today and hell of a nice weeked, but whats with the wind?!
You know Prep, the Japanese manufacturers definately have it in the tech side of bikes, and yes, quality is definately in their favor also, but there's no disputing that HD will outsell them both up front and in resale, regardless of how much or how little tech there is on the bikes.

Yeah the resale on HD is insane hey. Im sure that a 25 year old HD is worth more now then it was brand new, 25 years ago!

Plus they have a certain look/style to them that is so desireable.

Either way Sherm, I hope ya get your bike, and make sure ya post some damn pics of it!!!

Lots of what you've got in your picture to drink down, and working on my 78 F-150... trying to get the gas tank off and a new one on.

Then fire that sucker up and hear her roar!!!

Beer drinking and working on a classic, that sounds awesome!

I get to bounce at a cabaret, and try to get a flathead running, as well as taking the boat out and do some camping!

Sounds like a great time to me. Wish I had a boat to get out on the lake on... but all in due time...

Gotta get those big cheques rollin in once I'm done school

Hey preppy, if you ever decide to sell that C-6 that came with your 77, look me up haha.
