I gotta disagree on Harley's paint not being good...

There's a lot I disagree with in this thread.  :-\ :o :-X

Okay Cigar, I have to ask... Not that I'm doubting you but,

How about some real good (close up) pictures of this amazing 100,000+ bike with its "like new" paint?

When it's all said and done, it's just a pile of nuts, bolts, and sheet metal. They'll make more next year.

100% correct!   :2vrolijk_21:

Thanks Spyder.  That sure is a beautiful looking bike.  I'm very impressed with the condition after so many miles!


A couple of weeks ago I decided to enter my 20 year old Heritage into a Show & Shine competition and was quite pleased when it won 1st Place.  It only has half the miles of the nice looking white one though.

Hope you're back on your feet and riding soon Spyder.

I love the green Evo, Grizzly.  I'm partial to green bikes anyway.....my knucklehead, which I rode for 19 yrs. was always some form of Green, although different chopper builds over the years.  They say the green bikes are unlucky, but I always believed it was only if you changed the green to another color. :cucumber:...har.  spyder

Thanks Spyder,

That's one reason why I have "Erin go Bragh" (which is Gaelic for "Ireland Forever") painted on my rear fender.

The luck o' the Irish is with me always!

Thanks so much, that line reminded me of something that made me laugh until my eyes leaked.  Several years ago was dating a lass named Moira.  A true daughter of Ireland.  Still lived there part of the year when not doing some church volunteer task here in the states.  Her brother is a Priest here in the midwest.  Family from and still in the south of Ireland.  The real deal; red hair and all.

Red hair and all to include the attitude to go along with it.  One weekend we're riding and killing time at a rally.  Some family of hers are visiting the states and we're all meeting up "sometime" that weekend.  She's going on and on about home and how great it'll be to see the family.  And in the middle of all of it I had a sewing vendor make up a patch that read "Erin go Braghless."  Got it discretely pinned on the back of her vest while she was off to the restroom (or somewhere).  Then, of course, she didn't have the thing back on ten minutes before dad and brother showed up from behind her. 

Her brother was amused.  Her dad was not.  The evening went downhill for awhile after that....
