      Haha....not really.
      It was pretty beat when I got it. Still had the big sprung seat.
      Rebuilt the motor (shop), repainted it myself, and it turned out OK. Wish I had before photos.
      Wife and I had a lot of fun with that bike over the 10-12 years we had her. Sold it in 2003 for a decent buck.
      Used the money to buy my dragbike, trailer, and racing gear.

        I was asking for a friend…Rob S. Lol

        I’m just 5’7” so not sure if I’d look cool riding that bike!

        But my “T” suits me to a “tee”.

            Not saying you didn’t look cool riding it! Lol

            I don’t have much experienced with motorcycles except the Y2K Gixxer 750 and my “T”.

            I’d give it a go in a big parking lot.

                        Very Cool, Bob!

                        I have a heavy older leather jacket I bought from MrBill...that and a set of chaps and the waist coat (vest). I think I wore the chaps backwards the only time I wore them in NM--riding from Las Cruces to Alamogordo.

                            Thanks Roger,

                            sometimes there are good de-railings...if ONE thinks that way...and other times, not.

                            I just asked Rob if he understood my explanation in post# 30. I had to refresh his memory! lol

                              You were (and still are) cool. Wouldn't mind seeing pics and hearing details of your woman's Sportster. What year is it?

                                '78...You've seen it before, Rob.
                                I bought it in '89, but after I bought the 'glide in the late '90s, I signed the Sportster over to the wife.
                                Had it in the family for a little over 20 years.
