Talking Old Biker new to forum, hey to all!

After reading some of the different forums I said to myself it would be a good thing to do an intro... so here is a brief of Crocodile56.

I.ve been riding for more years than I can count, everything from rice to Harley's. Have to say my 76 BMW R-60/6 was my favorite bike. Never had to fix much on her and she ran great all the time.

Right now I have 3 Harley's, a Pearl White 01 Sporty that is chromed out to the max, I call her Priss. Than there is Betty Boop, she's a 97 Sporty with attitude, Screaming Eagle 1 & 2 with some personal head and cam modifications, she's far from stock thats for sure!

Than my third bike is the 90 BEAST!!!
I bought this P.O.S. in April 09 and tore this oil leaking, rusty, falling apart, ugly as ugly can get Sporty down to bare frame!!!

It took me six and a half months of hard work and a-lot of cash to build the beast to what she is now! All Brand New!!!
I replaced everything on this bike with a few exceptions and most of them will be replaced shortly, like the charging system first! That's how I came to being on this site asking questions, the charging system should be working but its not! If no-one can answer my problem I'll just change everything out, all the local mechanics are at a loss just like me..... sooooo if I just change it all I can't go wrong, I hope! Ha,ha..


I'll post a few pic's of the BEAST for you all to enjoy and I welcome all feed back.

Keep the shiny side up,
Crocodile56


P.S. The charging system is now all brand new and the beast is now charging into the future, bike show at Roscoe's Chili Challenge this week-end!!! Photos of Priss and Betty added, thanks to all for the thumbs up!
