Great weekend

Friday I took off work, and went and picked up the coveted Harley-Davidson 1979 FXE, that I have begged for, for 10 years straight.

I hadn't seen this bike in well over 8 years, it has been stored in a wooden shed since at least 1989, and I completely expected a bucket of rust to be sitting where this bike once sat. To my suprise, it wasnt in very bad shape, and pretty much how I remember it as a child. A bit of polish here, some spit there... it does need some paint, but that is no big deal.

It fired right over with a little squirt of starting fluid, but needed the carb rebuilt.

Tthis week, Ii have to buy all the replacement parts, wheels, brakes, and such.

My wife's been very supportive of the whole ordeal. She actually wanted to help, and made me take the sissy bar off so she could clean it up, and she spent about 4 hours on it. I can't complain.
