Well, since I saw my uncle on an old harley davidson back when I was a young teenager (makes me sound old...) I've liked the lines and the look of harley davidsons. Not to mention the rich history behind it's name and it's personality all it's own.
I've walked both sides of the cruiser/crutch rocket track but I seem to keep coming back to the cruiser.
I was looking for a new ride for this spring (was going to drop some money on a new harley) but I got to thinking. I love motorcycles, and I'd like to know more about them (i.e. do my own work on them, custom them, etc.) but I'd be uncomfortable modding a new one... so a friend put a bug in my ear... why not build one... the more I thought, the more it sounded like a good idea..
So this is me, at ground zero. I know nothing about building a bike, engine repair/building, customizing,etc but I want to learn. So this is your official heads up, I think I'm going to be asking a lot of questions
I'm presently researching what kind of harley I'd love to build/customize, so if anyone can point out any sites where there are numerous old/new models customized by yourselves or others, that would be great.
If anyone has been in a similar circumstance as me, and just startign off, I'd love to hear your stories on what u did, what you enjoyed and hated about it etc.
Glad to have found you all. Look forward to sharing discussions..
