My dad is selling all his bikes. A Harley sprint(his first motorcycle), a 74 iron head and a '98 1200s. I really want the 74 and do a custom bike out of it. I think they are awesome except for the right side shift and that kick start is a huge pain!

Current project. I'm burned out and broke on it right now... Had the car since the age of 15 and stored it the past 16 years or so in AZ while in the military. Spent the last year doing a body off resto and getting raked over the coals by the body shop. I'm doing the mechanicals. Pro Touring 65 Chevelle:

@ bobaganoosh, I have always wanted to drive a racing mower!! Lol

@ buellxb9rs, I actually have 2 ironheads! Both are 71's the one pictured and another that is straight out of the 70's. LOVE THEM

@ wd40oz, it is practically new inside. It's a lil project we have to take to shows n what not.

@ cgo, I love the pro touring look. I have a 67 nova wagon I'd like to do that to. And I love the thumper!!

@augustus_1, SS Trailblazer! Nice! Is that a 9" barrel on your AR? Gotta love the Guns!

BOYS NEVER GROW UP, OUR TOYS JUST GET MORE EXPENSIVE!!

Close, it's 7.5" - with the muzzle device, it's right at 9.5".

I have never shot a short barreled AR...I have shot a short barreled PS90, but it's totally different. I have a few fun things (Springfield 1911 that had some work done to it, a kimber ultra carry, sig p238, colt detective special, Colt AR-15) I wanna get a Mac 10 or 11 full auto...they are a hoot to shoot!

theMelvster6, thanks! It's not a thumper though. It's a parallel Triumph twin from a 1971 T120R 650. Thing sounded bada$$!
