Time for Harley riding Options

[awd4kicks]

I got the itch to ride again this year like most when spring comes around. I've always wanted a Soft Tail, Low Rider, or Fat Boy Harley, but the expense and fear of crashing usually kept things in check.

Well, this past week I came across and offer on a 1991 XLH1200 Sportster that I could refuse no longer. I know it's not the bike I wanted. I foresee this as a low cost way to get out there and see if I like riding enough to justify the expense of a big bike.

Plus, with gas prices the way they are, the gas savings should offset the small payment even if I ride the bike to work only half the time.

My dad owned this bike for the last 2-3 years. Unfortunately he has no garage so it had to sit outside under a cover most of the time. I'm not one for a lot of polishing so I'm not going to enjoy cleaning the corrosion and disoloration off. However, if I come up with a tasteful idea I may do some radical modifications this coming winter if I find I real like riding.

Here is a picture as is.

I'm not old enough to ride anything like that but I've had the itch to go ride at my buddy's house and hit the dirt jumps on my mountain bike.

Even though it snowed today.
