I'd give my left nut for this one;



I am a chica fan lol
We have certain tastes in common. The '70s turned me away from bling... forever. You an old guy? Or just a kid with some class?

Either way, don't be a stranger here?

Knowing you and A, for a month, has made earthquakes a lot easier to take.

Define "old". I am older than most here - that's for sure. Figure early to mid 30's.

I can dig a 70's Frisco style with the metalic paints etc. I hate the 90's billet, bright yellow with purple and red stripes going into checker boards abortions that were the rage. You know - monster billet mills with the Maltese cross all over it and 600 miles a year - maybe. I blame Easyriders for that. They still put that crap in their rag.

I dig old school bobber and choppers - as long as you built it with something other than a checkbook. Prefer monochromatic paint schemes with decent striping, minimalist controls and a jockey shift don't scare me none. RIDE the sob.

I grew up with motorcycles in the family. My dad was riding scooters in the 60's and at one time had 2 pristine 1945 45 inch HDs. Friggen sold them when you had to beg someone to buy a Harley. He also has the very first 24 issues of Easyrider magazines saved. THAT was a magazine - new ones, not so much. I like The Horse: Backstreet Choppers the best nowdays but their soapboxing can get a little old. Geno tends to impress himself more than he does others, that's for sure.



I remember an AMF bagger that got tore down every winter when I was a kid. He kind of moved out of cycles and my mother moved into it. She put 98,000 miles in her first heritage in 3 years. BTW - she lives in Wisconsin so no year round riding. I believe she is averaging between 15k and 18k a year now.

We get floods here, but for any water to even reach my front door it needs to flood the whole estate opposite to the level of the top of their downstairs windows!

Human: Welcome.

Mopar: Please, tell A main that this is the kind of azz we like! His club pic still has me puking a little in my mouth.. and FA is still blind...

As to "style" here in CA: I maintain that it will always take more than a credit card and a Crescent wrench before you can call it "custom". I have seen rats with more class than most of the candy ass stuff you see all over the roads here... with lawyers and realtors in new leathers barely holding on to them...

That cover bike is about perfect too.

EKD - where is "Central Coast"? I lived in Monterey for a year, that was nice but it sucks working the local ladies next to a guy stepping out of an Enzo and wearing his "Gulfstream V Owners Club jacket". Us enlisted guys can't compete!

I'd put it this way:

1. Riding a scoot
2. Duck hunting
3. Sex

As far as great things in life. I suggest trying #1 or #2.

H, I live in Montery county. Come inland a couple miles, and the women start to get a little smarter.
