Having survived a cancer diagnosis, surgery, chemo, and radiation, I decided I would like get another Harley before the reaper comes for me. I got hooked on the old man's '45 and '74 and have owned several bikes over the years but wanted to go out on a Sportster! Got a nice 95th anniversary sportster in excellent condition, #760 of 3000. Screaming Eagle slip ons, detachable windscreen, Harley bags.........real nice ride. I live in central Kentucky, lots of back country, curvy roads.......love it. The 1200 is quick and light enough for an old man to throw around and strong enough to boost a passenger.

I said it once, I'll say it again; the 1200 is the best motorcycle made and the 95th makes it sweeter!

Happy to hear your story and your courage

Thanx, Skullman, loved Colorado, went thru there on my way back to Mtn. Home AFB with a new bride(first one) back in the sixties. Awesome country!

Thanx Glider, apprediate the welcome. I have followed some of your posts and I have used some of your info already. Never hurts to keep a check on the sled. Love your ride, the Road King is great, maybe when I grow up I can get me one, too. he he!

Thank you! Now I look at every day like a birthday! It is good to be alive and especially good to ride and enjoy all the good things around me. The cancer was just a speed bump, but I am getting back up to speed now, Thanx again!

Thanx Speed, I'll do my best, tho I don't always color inside the lines.......

Thanx John, you said it, love the sporty.....still want to tweak a few things but all in all it is one sweet ride........

Thanx joyflyin, I am glad to be here! It is a wake up call and living is the best way I know to fight it! Gotta get a pic posted of the bike.......I think you'll like it.
