I kinda miss my old Triumph Bonneville. I could break down and rebuilt the engine while watching TV.

A lot of 50 year old tough guys buying Harleys these days. And none will work on em. themselves.Many of 'em are the same guys taking the retraining course.

Darn it, the secret's out. I've been toying this over as an alternate career while I work my way through school again.

"I really intend to open a shop ... to take advantage of all the yuppies in our area."He's talking about "RUBS" Rich Urban Bikers...Any of you watch the bike building challenge on one of the discovery channels?...which do you prefer the old school or new designs?

Marty, we need a tagword for Hooligan Ping story reference archiving in the tagword listings, like the *Bang_list uses *Bang* or FSP for the Freeper Porcuping list. *Hooligan* would certainly do, but something shorter might be even better. *Bikes*?

A lot of people are learning just how marketable their so-called skills are. I learned 12 years ago that the aircraft industry sucks for long term, continuous employment.

Is that what all Harley women look like.
To: Tijeras_Slim
Yup, My Aprilia does third gear throttle wheelies at about 60 mph. I can snick up through the gears and keep the front tire lofted for over a half mile. Gotta love V-Twin torque.
