Thanks guys. This thing was a real POS when I brought it to Paul. He did a frame off on this bike and it's hard to appreciate the work he did in the pics. Kelly loves it and we're gonna add some rhinestone bling to it and add some Bull Dog artwork to the rear fender. Actually I need another rear fender just like the one that's on it now if anyone knows where I can get one.....

A hardtail, ironhead with straight pipes. She must be a tough hombre to ride that thing. My wife would shot me in the head if I brought that home for her to ride.

She wasn't exactly fully pleased with me as far as my choice of ride for her, even though she said she loved it the day we surprised her with it. She still hasn't ridden it yet (It's still getting the final touches done and it's been in the build shop since the pics were taken) however she did get her learners permit about a month ago and will be attending Abate next spring. If she doesn't like it after she rides it she can get something that suits her...I'll take her Bobber!!

I love the way that bike looks and would leave it as is. I would just service it and make sure it's safe and let her ride the **** out of it. Hell i would ride the **** out of that bike.

Not trying to get rid of her...been married too long for that! She grew up around bikes (Her Dad was a dirt bike racer) and she'd driven motorcycles before. I just want her to be legal when she rides it. We have a place on a small lake where it's 9 miles around it. She'll be doing most her riding there. She did over 1000 miles a couple years ago on the back of my Chopper in Sturgis! (With a suction cup seat)
