This is my everyday ride & was taken in 2008 at the Harley-Davidson factory when I rode to the 105th Anniversary. I had already been there about 4 times when I was sent by my former employer for followup classes like for newer models that came out. I still look the same except for my hair is below my shoulders now.

This is my Shovelhead chopper I need to finish one day. If my back continues to give me problems though, I may need to sell it. I've had lots of spare parts I have sold in the past to make extra money.

Harold, I'm just an old redneck hippy biker! I still love my old rock but I like old country & blues & other music except rap other than some of Kid Rocks music.
Sorry I gave ya a bad image. There are still many people who have long hair these days & are normal like me & I say that because I don't have any thoughts on being female! At least I don't want any surgery to have other female parts! I'm not Jesus Christ either but if you see pictures or images of Him, He has/had long hair...........

Me too, Ya know I didn't find that one by accident. I've had Willie on the radio for a long time.

Here's mine. The handling is ridiculous, pure fun on a bend.
It requires constant cash and maintenance . New chain n sprockets / Brake pads, every 3 months.. ( I do 1k a week )
They don't make them like they used to but there n then they didn't handle or have fuel injection back then.

Finished this blade a week or so ago and had a nice shave with it . However the wedge which had come apart was too heavy , even though the blade is quite heavy , the balance was off.
Also people had advised me to start rounding my scales.

So I de constructed it. Did away with the brass lining, went with nickel pins this time and rounded the scales.
Whilst doing this work I taped the edge . So I decided to give the edge a couple of mins on the Nakayama to clear any tape residue. (The stone is fast)

Yesterday I had a shave with it and I must say it was the best shave I've ever had.
The extra touch on the Jnat and the fact that its Sheffield steel near wedge made for the smoothest edge . A weeks worth of growth gone. ATG fools pass one handed a sheer delight :beer2:
