Hi there to everyone.

I've been lurking just a bit as I've been interested in getting a new SERK for myself. I have a '76 FLH right now and it's been a fun ride including the semi rebuild. It's dependable but just really beats you up when you ride for more than about a tank a day.

I've been a gearhead all my life, starting with go karts in my grade school days, then building and welding up my own mini bikes, then we sold Bridgestone motorcycles and I did the repair/service on them, then we opened a marina and I was the mechanic, then I raced snowmobiles for the Michigan Ski Doo distributor, then, then, and it goes on from there. Oh, also service manager for a Chevy/Pontiac dealership for about 15 years.

I've been an avid street rodder for many years. I've built a couple and had lots of fun doing it. All the time I've had bikes of some sort.

In '02 my wife and I moved to St. Louis from Michigan. My wife is from this area and after moving her to Michigan 15 years earlier, she's happy to get back "home"...

Right now I have a '55 Nomad gasser project with a BBC 540 ci 660 hp along with my '76 FLH.

I'm probably going to sell both if I can to be able to get into the SERK without financing.

For right now, here's my current ride.

Before in all it's glory...

After in all it afterglow...

I've added a RK removable windshield that makes it very nice to go with or without in about 5 seconds.

Sorry to ramble with the intro.

Thanks in advance for the welcome.

Dan

Hello, and welcome to CVO Harley!! That is one FINE looking machine you have there............both before and after. Either one does it for me. Like Big Mike Griffin says "Give me a Shovelhead...........that's alright with me!" I'll be passing through your neck of the woods in early July. Perhaps we can meet for a beer or a meal.

hotlineguy, if you go to my signature, you should find my '55 Nomad gasser album. Keep in mind it is a project with lots of work done, but body work still be finished.

To finance my new '08 SERK Anniversary edition, I have the Nomad and my '76 FLH for sale. Right now I have the FLH down for a rattle and find that it's in need of some major rework. Rod assembly, new crank bearings, new cylinders and pistons just to name a few needed items. Whichever sells first, I'll probably keep the other. I hope the Nomad sells as I've had it for about 6 years and since I moved to St. Louis 5 years ago, I've not done one thing to it other than push it in and out of the garage. If anyone is interested in either, let me know.

Thanks to all for the warm welcome. I'm learning more and more each time I log onto the site, great information.
