Hi, Just picked up a 95' sportster from my uncle, ( he's 72 and not ridingmuch these days) Hell, I'm 49 and havent road in ten years! A little history:......... Not sure how many dirt bikes I owned since I was a kid, but had two 750 bonnies and a just did sell my 1980 flt( with a 5 speed blown trans) It was a BEAST! Anyway, I moved from chi town to Baker City OR. got a ride down to Bosie ID. where my uncle lives and rode it home.Not sure what to say about the bike, don't know much about sportsters, title says its an XL883DL, He said its punched out to 1200 and set up with a screamin eagle kit. Not sure how to tell by looking at it, but I guessI don't really care. For a 95, he took good care of it and Ilike it. Iknow pics are everything, so give me some time to figure this **** out and I will post. I know a few things butPC's andthis typing with one finger is something I "GOTS" to workon! Thanks

Speaking of turkeys, I had no idea they could fly. I found out the hard way, when it almost flew into me when I was at 60 mph on my scoot today. I find that I'm sort of like a bird magnet, or maybe my bike is.
