I also still have this one, but it hasn’t seen any action for awhile.
I need to get a new battery and some fresh tires.
It’s a 2001 Harley-Davidson, FXDL that had an original dealer springer kit installed when new.
It’ll be one of those head scratchers many years from now, because it’s a factory built bike, with originally installed factory equipment making it a unique bike that never appeared as a cataloged model.
What I liked about it, is that the 2001 Dyna, Lowrider used the same frame as the Wide Glide, so it had a more relaxed headtube angle.
So, if you compare the fork rake on my bike to a standard Springer Softail, or a Badboy, you’ll see a very noticeable difference in the angle of the fork rake.
The combination of the spring fork on a super glide type frame, makes for a really compliant ride.
I always thought that the factory was missing out, by not adding this combination to the lineup.

Then there’s this little Tinker Toy.
1947 Schwinn Whizzer.
Low and Slow, but a heck of a lot of fun!
That’s it for my current stable of motorcycles, but, I’m always open to more adventures in the future.
My first love, was a 1958 BMW R/60 that I bought when I was in high school.
Man!
That thing was like sprouting wings.

I saw Easy Rider when it came out at 9 years old, which got me into custom bikes, but became a car guy instead. somewhere I still have a folder with all the choppers I drew as a kid. drew this at age 23. had a couple Kawasaki's, and still have a BMW that I have not ridden in years.

had one of these for a while, 1982 Honda MB5. it had a screaming 50CC 2 stroke that spun 10,500 RPM's at redline. mine had a fairing and different pipe. it would do almost 50 when you tucked down for aerodynamics. availble for 1 year only here in the US. probably some sort of collectors item now.

My newest favorite. 2000 HD Sportster 1200 Custom. Found this with 7000 miles five months ago. I drove it around town for a little while. Now there is snow on the ground so it is getting new tires, drive belt, carb rebuild and new gaskets on the rocker boxes.Getting it ready for spring

There is a model called a Bad Boy-FXSTSB. Here we are getting wet on The Dragon on my '96 Bad Boy.

Looks like everyone likes 2 wheels motorized or not. I bought my first motorcycle in 1968 it was a 1966 Yamaha twin 100 YL1E. I paid $100 for it. Needed to fix the broken chain. It was a street bike that I stripped and turned into a dirt bike. Lots of fun. Before that it was Mini bikes and wooden framed go karts with rope steering. Powered by a 1 1/2 hp. Briggs & Stratton. Wished I had some photos. Lots of good memories
