I got my first bike at 15. Been riding ever since. I went 1 year without a bike. I sold the Honda I had, to get married. Should have kept the bike and rode on into the sunset. Anyway, 53 years later, and still riding. Bought the current bike new in 2000. We didn't ride it much while our son was growing up, as he was 4 when I brought it home. It now has about 11,000 miles. Like others, we avoid freeways and high density roads.
It was Black when new, but we had an Aqua Pearl '95 before this and my wife is Aqua Girl, so a few years ago, I bought used sheet metal and had them painted the same color.

Pinstriping is applied by hand by a local young guy. He does some really nice work.

Here's my 2016 Harley Sportster 1200, it's called a '48 because of the vintage look. I don't ride like I used to, this one barely gets to the main road five miles away.

Wow, nice garage art there Tim, and that blue on your wife's springer is beautiful.

I know what you mean about not riding much...I am buying my friend's 65 Panhead just as soon as he decides to let it go, so I bought this 2000 Fat Boy with Factory custom paint etc. last April to by my rider until the 65 is mine. It had 90 original miles on it when I got it and it has a whopping 150 miles now!

Hell Yeah!!!!

The wife and I are in Florida for 2 months and we brought the essentials. My 2014 Heritage Softtail and 2 beach chairs.

I'm in Homosassa, FL now too, but I bought a car down here, so dragged the trailer down to bring it home. Next year, it will be the HD in an enclosed..:wink:
