    Bikes for sale

    Thanks Cowboy and Kenfuzed, Jimfuzed should be my name I think some times. Dont realy want to sell. My wife has has become Grand Ma and is not to interested any more in riding. Her FXDL is on web site also. I realy injoy the Grand Pa stuff too.
    I went through a real bad case of Throat Cancer in 2004. Thats why the bikes sat for a while. I am doing well now. Cancer free 4 yrs, minus my Larynx, includes voice. The Dr's say after 5 yrs you will live till you die. Profound huh. Summer is real tuff on me now to get out and ride more than a few miles. Having shared all that, not looking for and do not want sympathy. It is what it is. Im still a dumb tuff old Basterd. Being a Nuclear Power Plant Welder/Mechanic for 26 yrs and way to much fun caught up to me. Dosent matter which. I have had a blast, I can say that. I am of the mindset of skidding sideways into the grave, dents all around.
    Once these bikes sell, if they do, Im doing the only sensable thing to do. Order a Dodge R/T 6spd Challenger Hemi. It has AC for the summer. Pretty fun to. Track Pack. 6 spd manuel out of Viper, and 3.92 posi. 375 hp, 404 lb tq, Factory. Like 1969 again only better, no rust. Still get over 20 mpg if easy with it. Wife has a 2007 Charger R/T 5 spd auto slap stick, 24 mpg on highway 19 mpg in town. Her driving not me.
    Any reasonable offer will be considered on the bikes. They are in tip top shape. Thanks.

    Very nice looking ride, sounds like you put a lot of tender love into her. You shouldn't have a hard time selling it, however keep in mind you'll probably want to ride again and if she sells you might really miss it.

    Selling ride

    Im sure my Glide will be missed. They have a way of becoming family when you do all your own work on them. I always wanted to build a custom fat tire chopper for around town here. Since Im limited in saddle time from my illness something for Bike night in town and local area would be nice. 100 cu in or so. Soft Tail, little nitrous, tire burner. There is as your aware Im sure a ton of choice availible today. Plus Im 2 hr from Daytona. I have the perfect Garage for such a projects. We owner built our house in 2002. Garage is 35' deep, 20' wide. Its Air Conditioned, 10' cielings, Big doors front and side in the rear. Welding station, air tools, Torch, Im set up well. I can slip a part or two in from time to time and suprize my wife one day, she loves a good surprize. Who ever buys my toys, I always tell them if they need a hand with something give me a call and bring it buy. Sort of a warrenty just no charge for labor.
