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.

Well...I just got an email today that effectively confirms that I'll be in London for the rest of 2008.
 I guess the bike will have to wait.
