    Your welcome. I spent about an hour on that site last night just clicking around.

    Great photo Dragon.

    I had a Honda Chopper (350cc lol) back then and didn't get my first Harley until the late 80s.

    Well, I'm going for a ride...

    What "good old days" - double digit unemployment, double digit inflation, Vietnam, exiting Vietnam in unseemly haste, smog pumps, fuel shortages where people burned their pianos to keep warm & I kept math books under the seat to have something to read while waiting for gas cause would read thru a novel before getting to the pump, hostage crisis, mortgages >10%, . . .
    Put together rides found in the "Penny Saver" just to save on gas.
    Took untill now to get back to being as bad as the 70's

    Nice looking ride, tho, dragon - Couldn't strap me on it but nice looking ride
