I have over 90 watches, no need to explain why, and I rarely ever wear one anymore. One of them is even a real nice HD watch my wife gave me, that I'll wear when suited up (funerals, etc). It's a great thing not having to be anywhere, at any time, that I can't tell by the position of the sun or the growl in my stomach.

You couldn't be more right. I built my bike with perfectly good cast off parts.

and the prices are great if not free when you're tight with your local INDY shop.

I picked up ZERO miles TC88 jugs,pistons,heads and rocker covers for $200 for my $4200 Twinkie FXD
My Shovelhead rolls on late model WG forks, front wheel and 4 piston brakes on both ends. All out of the "take-off" pile. 1200 Sporty CV carb works better than S&S some moron just had to have for his otherwise stock bike.
God Bless Willie G and the POSERS !!!

He revved the bike up to about 4k and barley let the clutch out. You could smell the clutch every time he stopped and started up again. Once he got moving in traffic, he was wobbling all over the road like a kid riding a bicycle for the first time. I felt like telling him to learn how to ride before coming to events like Laconia where he could hurt himself and others.
this is the dumbest **** I have ever read. Not just this but a bunch of comments. I wanted a harley as long as I can remember. I went to prison when I was 16 for 7 1/2 years. When I got out I put myself through college and got a good job that finally gave me an opportunity to buy a bike. I couldnt ride for ****. Oh, and I'm covered in tats. 7 1/2 years will change a **** but think twice before you walk up and tell me how to ride
