You are early.
You are supposed to hit 40, buy a Harley, and start dating 20 year olds.
Gotta go find me a 20yr old!

It is a 03 Deuce Anniversery Edition
Remember what happened the last time you tried to wheelie something on two wheels???:rofl::cruch:
...I used to ride my mates 42 knuckle head with the suicide shift when I lived in OZ fun to ride but only a 100 miles at a time
...
I heard the Knucklehead was named after the head engineer at HD...
Be careful with the wheelies. I had a 79 XLCH? (a hotrod sporty) and wheelies eventually broke the front jug at the base, since it had an engine stay up on the front cyl head. Pretty much all heavy bikes get banged up when you wheelie them. Head bearings, fork seals, motor mounts, etc, all wear out fast.
Moderation is the key perhaps. Wheelies from every intersection probably are a bit much.
I also had the opportunity to ride a suicide clutch 45ci hardtail springer HD. All I can say is WTF where they thinking back then?
For those who don't know their antique HD's, it had no front brake, no rear suspension, no front shocks, you shifted it with your hand down by your thigh, and the clutch was a foot pedal. It felt like you were flying. Not because it was fast (it certainly wasn't), but because usually the tires were not actually touching the ground, they were bouncing in the air. 50mph on that bike felt like 100. Maybe it went 80, but I doubt it.
Stopping at a light or stop sign was always an adventure, especially on a hill. Sammy (the owner) dropped it about once a week, and he rode it daily.
Poor Sammy thought he was a hard-ass, got drunk at a neutral biker party in Santa Ana, and shot off his mouth to a Hell's Angel pledge and then pulled a gun on him. The guy left, then came back to the party with a 30-30 lever-action rifle. In the front room with about a dozen others present, Sammy "lost his head", with most of his brains and hair plastered on the wall and ceiling. The police cut most the wall out and took it, but you could still see small clumps of hair on the ceiling. The guy got pulled over for speeding on his way to AZ in a pickup, and confessed.
Nice truck Rob... LLY?
