Beautiful Riding

[MarkinAZ]

I don't ride, but my good neighbor across the way from us has a nice HD "shovel" I believe its called, and boy does that bike sound beautiful when he fires it up!

He once told me that he has a can of nitro fuel that he mixes with the regular gas in the tank to kick up the octane a smidge. When he kicks it over, the engine simply purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrssssss

Well I am sure you know how the rest of the story goes, except he got me also for having out of state tags. And the lawyer wont be able to help me on this one, so I will have to change over my tags, go to driving school and pay out the ass, all because I was having a good day. I kind of wish I was going faster to make it worth while, hind sight 20/20.
Anyhow keep the rubber to the ground and the shiney side up!

Sorry to hear about your experience. That will always put a damper on a ride. If you don't mind telling, where were you when this happened?

In Vegas! And I thought it was sin city, I guess speeding is not a sin!

That's the shovelhead Harley engine, born when I was, in 1966 and discontinued when I graduated High School in 1985. Beautiful and powerful engine. He must be proud.

I know a vet who has one that he bought for himself as soon as he returned from Vietnam.

Here's a 1967 shovelhead bobber



I tried to ride today but got my chills back from the flu I have been fighting for a week and had to turn around after a couple miles.

Just got back from an awesome ride up to Big Bear. Left around 8:00 this morning and spent the whole day up there with some family. Had a great meal in town, hung out at the "beach" (had some RYJ Churchills ) and then did some boat riding. Fun, fun, fun.... looking forward to doing it again
