Sometimes we have to just put the mods aside and go take a nice spin...

Sorry, this only gives an already tarnished outlook on riders an even bigger black eye. Sorry to be so vocal on this but, to put it in perspective, now put a passenger on the back....your kid. How cool is it now?!81 XS1100H

I only saw one girl on an H-D, the rest are on British, German or Italian machines.
The only girl shown at risk was the one on the BSA Bantam, not as it gets up to it's 50mph downhill maximum speed but from falling off it with an open knife tucked in her stocking.Fred Hill, S'toon

Cleaning up
Yea, I am cleaning up my post, hope the BSA girl didn't offend I find a lot of funny pictures on the web, like the bodybuilder stuff And, I have a weak spot for pretty girls Been ask to keep it to myself and not offend others, so I comply the best I can. I love to add a laugh when I can, but don't want to do it at someones expence. Love all you guys (and gals) and thanks for years of helping me keep my antique on the road
