Let's talk... Ironhead Sportsters

Also some background about me, I taught myself how to build engines and work on my Duster from square one. No dad or uncle to show me the ropes just pure passion for old vehicles. I'm not afraid to learn a whole new machine and rebuild it into something unique, I just figured a motorcycle is smaller and less complex than a car and can give similar thrills for a lot less money (but it's much less safe, yes I know).

So here are a couple of pix of yours truly. In the wind on my dual plug shovel and the other, I had perhaps tapped out and was taking a siesta! I have been riding since before I was ten and had my first wreck with my grandfather in a liquor store parking lot in the gravel. I still ride and have a relatively strong opinion on the sportster. My Brother (RIP) had a Harley shop in which we hand built bikes for years long before Orange County madness. Do not use the sportster as a first bike, feel free to PM me and I can give you a litany of reasons on why not. Do not let your frame size deter you from getting "more" bike. There are a million ways to lower the stance on a bike just like a car. The peanut gas tank is another killer, you can barely go anywhere without topping off. And if you are with a group they can go twice as far. There are a lot of nice HDs for sale out there reasonably priced from folks that the only thing they put on their bike was chrome not miles.
