I used to never really care about bikes at all but I was at this guy's house not too long ago and he had this old school 50's Harley panhead that I fell in love with. I've never had a bike so I'd have to go take the class and get certified and all that, but I was wondering what the story was with old bikes. Kinda like how our mopars have pros and cons, what are the pros and cons of older Harley's?
I really like the way this bike sits. I wouldn't want the ape hangers to be so high but I love the way the rest of it looks. I'm guessing it wouldn't be the most comfortable thing on long rides but I don't plan on doing much of that. Are these old rides really expensive to fix up? I've been trying to do some research but it seems like prices are all over the place and I don't really know exactly what I'm looking at anyway. I was just wondering what your opinions were on older bikes.
