Glad to see you back with motorcycle footage. I've learned more about cleaning and detailing bikes from you than from anyone else. Coming back after a crash is a community event. My brother went down a couple years ago and we just started putting his bike back together. It takes time for everyone to recover!

So glad you're getting back to your bikes. I've lost a lot of friends over the years and I understand how someone you love getting hurt affects you. She's an amazing young lady and an inspiration. Great video too. I love learning about these old bikes.

All those old irons will sump like that when they sit for a period of time. Just the nature of the beast. Even my shovelhead will do that. Good job, man.

Cool.....I had lost my 54 pan/shovel/evo chopper to a garage fire a few years back....and as a result bought a 93 FXDL.....which came with almost complete Stage 2 upgrade....but, the bike was from the second owner, and they passed on the receipts and records of stuff upgraded on the bike over the years kept by the first owner...which has kind of inspired me to continue it.
