Here is the 84 the day I brought it home.  Ugly gold pin stripes and a dented up mess that leaked oil everywhere.

Yeah the above may have been true but it was the best bike on the road...because it was yours.

Worked for me.....thanks for posting Dean.

Hope all is going well for you!  Haven't saw you in a few years.....well, maybe it's been more than a few years. :2vrolijk_21:

You've been kind of a stranger on this forum lately, too.  What have you been up to?  Are you still on a DFT trike or something else now?

I am always on the site each day, just reading all the post, now and than like this one I jump in with something.
still on the 2006 with the DFT trike kit on the back, last I looked it was at 35,000 miles and have done nothing but change oil and on trip out west two years ago lost the charging system, would only run about 1 hour on battery and was 225 miles from a dealer that I called from the road on cell phone for him to UPS NDA the parts. so to keep it running to get their I bought 2 car battery at parts store as I went. like the old days....running a total loss system!

this is a good subject you started, love to see all the "old" photos and the owners when we were kids!

I look at this picture and can feel the God awful hangover I had at the time. We had just returned from a "Horse Roast" club party. My brand new 78 Low Rider was about two months old in this picture, the AMF years. What a POS this picture was in July next trip was Sturgis at about 1400 miles one way and I broke down with a bad valve on the way there, on the way home lost both the front and rear brakes, front fork seal and another valve! I tore it down and took everything off of it to the last nut and bolt, complete redo so I was able to ride with out breaking down. I often think of this bike before the rebuild when I read about all the "problems" with our CVO's. Pretty damn good bikes compared those AMF POS!
Yep had a new 78 low rider myself. Knew it was going to be a problem when on the way home from the dealer the right front turn signal fell off the bike hanging on by the wires. Real POS

My first bike back in 66/67 a 1939 500 Panther. This is the only pic I have of it I was trying to make it larger  but shrunk it instead and haven't been able to get it back (don't have much computer know how) Maybe some one out there could make it larger and post it back that has the know how would be much appreciated :2vrolijk_21:

That's cool I always wanted one of those. Did it fire every lamp post? Was it easy to start?
