Trials and Tribulations (and good times) of my motorcycle projects and other motorcycle tinkering. Building, Wrenching, and Riding Harley Davidson Evolution Sportsters, Big Twins, and anything else with two wheels. Currently working on building a 1988 Sportster.
I really enjoy hanging out in my garage. Sometimes I am tinkering on the bikes, sometimes I am working on DIY projects, sometimes I am working at cleaning up and organizing things (a constant struggle), sometimes I am just tinkering on whatever,…
