after 18 years... she fired up!

well, dunno if many people care, but, tonight we got my uncles motorcycle running, its been sitting for 18 years because he was a parapelegic (spelling is bad, sry) and he passed away back in 2003 (R.I.P.) its a 1968 Harley Davidson, custom paint, with a 74 Harley cop bike motor, and let me tell you... this thing is LOUD! gotta love straight pipes hehe shoots flames too which is fukin wicked!

anyways, i'll try to get pics of the bike asap when i get time and post em, i was just excited because we got it running finally

gonna be sad to see it go come spring time when we ship it out west to his son

no we got to keep some things because it was my dads brother, my dad got his snap-on tool box (very very old school one) and some of his old tools, he gets the bike tho because noone in my family rides, and his sons more into bikes then us and he'll actually do a full rebuild on the transmission so he can ride it once and awhile because right now the transmission is very tough
