Added another horse to the stable
« on: March 06, 2011, 01:47:15 PM »
Yesterday I bought a 1999 HD Sportster 883.  15,700 miles, does not run, but engine does crank over. Now I can have Harley stickers, Honda stickers, and Kawi stickers all over my F350 Dually.. (LOL) ;D

A friend had a nightster that he customized a bit.

Then he "accidently" won  an ebay auction on a superduke. Point 'n' shoot performance, but It made his garage a bit too crowded. Luckily he recouped most of the money he had in the nightster when he sold it.

People with the bigger harleys call the sportster a girl's bike, but what the heck, if you got a good deal fix it and ride it, trade it or sell it when you accidently win an e-bay auction.
