Hey thanks for the compliment but that picture is at least twenty years old [ I ain't dumb] and the Chopper belongs to someone else, I hope.

I'm old school now, baby! See the ravages of time in the next group of pix. Only the first one is current. Thanks

Default My SH and I think Sissy69 is the real deal....

I think Sissy69 is the real deal....A rare find for sure.

'72 SuperGlide...I call it FrankenGlide.

My other bike is a '72 XLCH. Down for a rebuild.

Y'all are very kind to an old girl. Gracias, DeadReckoning

That is a fine looking shovel there Pat. Inspiring. FrankenBike and FrankenShovel!
Do you know if those rear fenders were stock on certain shovels?

Love that Sporty chopper. Nice!

Anybody old enough, besides me to remember a Johnny Cash song where he listed all the years of the parts he stole while working at an auto manufacturing plant? It was a funny song and reminds me of my life.

Well it's only reaching about fifty degreess here in the daytime. FrankenBike may have to way for four months before I get my hands back on it.
I am a serious biker, but I am also a "mature woman" who can't sit on the cold-*** ground for that long. So for now I will sit in front of my computer and dream of riding my bike in Hawaii.

Been scanning some old photos from dusty picture albums. Check it out...

The rear fender was stock Supergildes. The wheels, swing arm, frontend, brakes, controls, gas tanks, etc are all off of later year Fx's. The cases are Dextron.

One piece at a time, Baby!

If I was in Az I would help you get FrankenBike on the road.

Here's laugh on me. New Pipes on the Ironhead!

On a serious note.



Pat

Default Like oh wow man?

Hey Pat, thanks for that Johnny Cash video. I cracked up. It's a good thing there are a few of us old folk still around. What a great song, I gotta download that one now that you reminded me of the title. Thanks again.

And those shorties sound sound FREAKIN' good. Someday I will probably modify mine. Last time I took it to the local repair shop, the sporty came back without the horn but I didn't notice for a month. Guess I don't care that much

But the best video was the one of those 'new pipes'. Vroom!


So thanks again and for your kindness, I offer a picture of my latest addition to my garage. It's like me. Old, parts missing, no title, technically only runs down hill but looks good just sitting there. I'm think of putting a springer on the front. Whaddaya think?

Default Hmmmm?

I just might do that depending on who's smoking what, if you get my drift. Gotta have my medicine, ya know.
Now darn it, where is that Mary Jane emoticon? ?

My 69 FLH. One sweet ride. I really appreciate seeing all the old scoots here. It gets tiresome reading about "what's better Eglide or Roadglide"...

Not sure if I posted this one on the Shovel thread before. My 02 RK and 69 FLH. One of my favorite shots.
