Hello All, when I was a senior in high school in 1974, I bought my first bike, a 1973 Honda CL350 "Scrambler". It had the "twisty" pipes that ran up the left-hand side, as opposed to the CB350 that had the down pipes. I really thought I was something until one day at school, a guy I knew comes up and says, I hear you bought a bike, I say yeah, he says me too. I say, whatcha' buy, he says, a brand new 1974 H-D Sporty! Well, my jaw hit the ground, and I've been wanting one ever since. Rode dirt for a while, racing motocross with a '75 RM 125 Suzuki. Quit riding around 1980. Fast forward to 2011, I turned 55 this year and thought, man, I'm half-way to 60! If I don't get me a Sporty now, I never will, I'll be too decrepit! So, in June I fulfilled a 37 year dream and bought a 2009 Sportster 1200 Low, with just a tic over 4000 miles. I always loved the bare-bones, no-frills look of the Sporty's. This thing is a torque-monster, all balls! I only weigh 160 lbs. it does'nt even know I'm on it! No good for touring, but for putting around the back country roads where I live it's a blast! Okay you bikers [not just H-D's] let's get this thread rolling again! Attached are some pics, Regards, Leipzig
