Are any other Bikers here?

I was a little girl, probably 5 or 6, rode my neighbor's harley davidson.. I guess it was in ummm 1979 or 1980. I still remmy it very well. Of course I had to practically claw my nails into my neighbors back/waist! LOL.

My mom took a pix. no idea where that went. Burned my leg a bit on the umm muffler thing. the silver tube thing. Sorry Im not good w mechanic stuff.

Cool websites! Thanks for the links.

I have also been thinking about the trikes and service bikes. As we get older, I think hubby and I need a more "stable" ride, plus I have that "vertical challenge", ha, ha. There are some really good-looking trikes and other modified rides out there.

I enjoyed reading the inspiring stories of "disabled" riders. :)

I know builders. PM me. I can help her find the right builder... :thumb:
My hubby was telling me about very low-riding choppers that can be modified for shorties but I don't really like low riders or extended forks. I used to like that "look" when it was "new", such as "Easy Rider" but now I prefer the more "classic" look. Of course, that is each person's individual taste and preference. (That's what makes America great!)

As you have stated, knowing the right builder is key. They can modify to just about any requirement. The only limitation is cost.

Reba...thanks for providing those pics. I especially like the older ones to see how it 'used to be'.
 
I have always wanted a Harley Davidson bike, bu my husband said NO! :cry: I told him, that I am getting one for MYSELF. Of course I can ride bike and I used to have a dirt bike when I was growing up and I can drive. I guess I can't have it and probably will never going to have one. Oh well.. My husband have the reasons for me to not get a bike.. He is SCARED of riding that motocycles. But he is not afraid of 4-wheelers/ATV.

Get one anyway. If he is scared to ride. Tell him to stay at home. He can do all the cooking & cleaning. Then he will see how much you work your ass off & deserve one. Go have some fun... :smoking:

Well, you like two wheels, and he likes four wheels. Do you think he might accept three-wheels as a compromise? Maybe you two could look at some HD trikes?

A Poem About R.U.B.S.

THE MODERN DAY BIKER
I’m a modern day biker, got a scooter to prove it,
Got ink on my arm, took 5 minutes to choose it.
My putt she’s a beauty 40 grand worth of chrome,
I'd never rode when I bought her, so I trailered her home.
I bought her on credit, accessories up the wazoo,
Bought some worn chaps and a leather jacket on HD credit too.
I got me some apes, about 3 feet tall
They’re way over my head, can’t reach them at all.
Big carb and big cam, big tire to boot,
But I pray she don’t break cuz I can’t fix my own scoot.
Couple falls, couple crashes, another 5 grand in fix’n,
Now I got my permit just can’t take my little vixen.
The vixen she's a hottie, she’ll be 18 in June,
She loves all the chrome and now gives me the poon.
I got me an attitude, I’m the baddest in town,
But I check it at the door when real patchers are around.
I bought a big knife but I leave it at home,
I wore it out once but it got in the way of my phone.
I call my friends “bro” now, they got new scooters too,
We think we need an oil change, just no sure how to.
I watch Pauly and Cody and Vinny and Senior,
But I love Mikey the most, he’s the freaking ring leader.
And don’t forget Jessie and his West Coast Choppers,
Building every bikers dream, 50 thousand dollar bar hoppers.
I won’t ride to Sturgis, man that’s way too far,
I’ll just load up the trailer and tow with the car.
I’ll stay in a motel, five stars there’s no doubt,
One with great food and where credit has clout.
I will trailer near town then jump in with some scooters
1200 miles to drool at some girl with fake hooters.
I might get my ear pierced or another tattoo
Of skulls or of dagger or maybe F**k U.
If the vixen don’t like it and thinks I’m a dope
No problems here, it’ll wash off with soap.
Sleep on the ground! You’re kidding me right?
Next thing you’ll want me to do is stay up n party all night.
I’ll buy me a patch that says “I RODE MINE THERE”,
Who the hells gonna know, it’s a lie but who cares.
Ride to live, live to ride, I got riding in my veins,
Except when it’s too hot or too cold or windy or it rains.
Yea, I’m a modern day biker, you got something to say?
Send me an email, I’ll reply someday.
