The Transformation of Ivan the Terrible to Ivan the Guru-illa
(why no... I don't have anything better to do this morning... why?)
An ordinary day in the jungle... we find Ivan out for his daily constitutional...
"Man this walking stuff is for the birds." he thinks to himself.
(which is surprising... with his intelligence... he should know that birds fly)
"I think I'll get a motorcycle."
and with that... he sets out to find himself the perfect bike...
He tried riding on the back of one first... just to get the feel of things...
apparently the biker liked the way he was getting the feel of things...
"You want me to do what?!?!?!"
That didn't go over well...
So he set out to find his own ride...
He tried several different types...
which caused him to do things he wouldn't normally do (I hope)...
Finally... he happens across the perfect bike...
"Hurry up, Harry! I'm ready to ride!"
(between Harry and the gorilla... Samsonite luggage everywhere quakes in fear...)
Ahhhhhhhhh... a perfect fit...
He can now leave his jungle home for the concrete jungle... riding in style...81 SH Something Special

Man, you guys have way too much time on your hands! But I do have to give props to the SWEEEEET Harley white wall on that bike. I hope you change it out soon before your bike starts shaking apart, and leaking oil! lol

thanks Guys... it was the least I could do for our resident Guru-illa...
Maybe so... but I think you're still stinging a bit because you didn't get the cool white wall too...Originally posted by Russ79 View Post

You know, you guys keep jabbing that whitewall tire, but except for the fact that it said HD on the side, I actually think the idea of puting whitewalls on these classic bikes is kinda cool! I don't think it looks bad at all!

It did look good... and I think on some of the bobber styles it would look WAAAAY cool... BUT... this one did say harley on it... that... and the reason and manner in which it was acquired... will be the source of many a joke... for many a year...
because we really have nothing better to do... yet...
