Not sure where to start so I'll just jump in. My name is Jon Gauthier I'm from Stockton, Ca. My username is Jonga for short! I want to thank J.C. for turning me onto this site. I ran into him at the easyrider show last month. We worked together around 30 years ago and hadn't seen each other since then, what a trip. Anyway, had my first harley back then, it was a 69 sporty I bought for 1700 bucks a black rat bike. 4 or 5 grand and 14 months later I had a nice bike to look at but it was still a sportser.
It had to go. Fast forward, bought a used 02 roadking in 02 with 5000 miles. I love that bike, I'm a bagger for life, for sure. Black is beautiful, so black and more chrome is mo beautiful. I put about 15000 miles on it in little over 2 years and loved every moment.
Started itching for a SERG and was hopeing the 06 SE models would include a road glide. On July 23 when they came out with new SE for 06, the ultra just didn't do it for me. But.... I kept hearing about the new street glide. So, I'm now the proud owner of a black beauty again. This time I went with a little less chrome and more beef. 95" kit , pistons, barrels, 203 cams, rhinehart tru-duals, air cleaner and racetuner before it left shop with any miles. At 1800 miles I decided I wanted more so I put performance SE heads, S&S 5/10 gear cams, barnet clutch and a PCIII. Does it ever end.... I think not. Between motor work and other access., like xm radio, color matched iner fairing, chopped tour pak and assorted other items I feel like I have created a SE street glide. After talking to J.C. I have an app. with the Dyno machine on March 15 in Sac. "thank you very much,again". Hopeing the dyno will put this baby to bed , for good, for a while....
I think I've talked way to long, so I'll end with this. I love this site, and really enjoy all the stories, information, and comeradery. I'll have a photo of my bikes to post soon, thanks again J.C. Jonga [smiley=jalapeno.gif] [smiley=jalapeno.gif]
