Default New Harley Rider

Spent a little time on the touring section then realized that was a waste of time. Got this 98 Electra Glide plus a 95 springer converted to a Wide Glide in trade for my 72 Chevelle. Love them both. Complete opposites of each other.

Here is the EG



And here is the Softail

Nice rides. But please tell me the Chevelle was a non SS and a rust bucket. I love my HD, but a nice muscle car would be hard to part with for me.

It was an all original numbers matching 1967 SS......LOL. No it was a really nice no rust 72 SS CLONE. It had a 454 but it was weak. It was not without it's issues and I felt I was putting more money into it and trying to make myself love this 72 when really I would much prefer a 67 or 69. Or a 67 or 69 Camaro. 68 - 70 Charger. 67 - 70 Mustang fastback. 68 - 77 Cutlass. In the end it was just a 72 Malibu with the SS trimmings. I didn't build the car but felt it could have been done MUCH better. But as I said it had some issues that I did not want to deal with.

My Father in Law gave us his 65 Mustang that needs restored but is a SUPER solid car to build. He isn't in the greatest health and I would like to get it done soon. Not going to happen as long as I have the Chevelle. Plus I had already paid a buddy to do some work on the Chevelle so when I got rid of it I gave him the pro touring front suspension I had to put on my Chevelle plus what I had already given him and he is going to restore the Mustang for me. Body work (little bit) paint and assembly.

Plus it was easy to trade the Chevelle since I already had another car paid for and I would ride my Suzuki 5 times more than that car. Sold the Suzuki when I got the Harleys. Dont miss the car and never looked back. Plus I got a lot of extra stuff in the trade including a trailer.
