I was a Harley guy for many years. (Started riding street and racing on a '78 Kawi Z1-R and then got into HDs). My favourite ride for many years (and presently on her third facelift) is an '81 FXE, an old, cast iron, 45 degree V-twin, rigid mount, four speed shovelhead. The only thing stock on her now is the rear tire and the frame. Love that bike. Having a little Cree in me from mom's side of the familia, I have Grandfather Wolf watching over me, helping to keep me safe. Combined the two and you get me, Shovelheadwolf. Got back into sport bikes about five years back when a friend of the wife's threw me the keys to her race prepped SV650. A few weeks later there was a Triumph RS triple in the garage. Several accidents (not my fault, hit by a blonde and a deer on separate occasions) and I decided on a Tuono to give my busted up arm a break from the SuperSport riding pos. Haven't looked back since.
