I don't play no more. My bike is old, the frame is a bonnie truett pro-gas 120" shovel. While it was fast in the mid 90's, new frames like weekend frame company were coming alive and bikes like mine disappeared when AHDRA went bankrupt. It's just something to look at now and then when I want to feel young again. http://www.weekendframe.com/

To be 30 again and have ***** of steel.. I'd ride that MF'r in a heartbeat if given the chance

UH...because he's an idiot.! Bought it a year and a half ago and put maybe 200 miles on it. He does this sh*t all the time. Two bikes in 5 years and probably didn't put 1500 miles on them together. Told him to keep it, because when I get old and can't hold the Ultra up, I'll buy it from him....

Nitro drags would be sweet to see live.


Well, back to the grind stone. Extremely busy day today. Everyone is out of the shop on a job except me and the front guy.

Went once a couple of years ago at Norwalk Raceway, it was impressive, plenty of Louie opportunities...........

I think the kids wanna be like the old man and have a HD because in reality you're their hero. They won't say to your face after they hit puberty but it's still there. Gotta face it too. Us old guys are the only ones keeping HD alive right now. I have 200 shares of HOG, if I were half smart I'd short it now, I was going to last year but the Milwaukee 8 came out and I wanted to see shares.

The smart bet is to short this one.

Norwalk is the Mecca of Nitro Harley racing. I did go once but didn't race.

I believe they just finished a pretty significant upgrade of that facility.
