     I think I have it right this time!

    Hey Guys, I am known as Crazy Erny, I am on the wrong side of 64, been riding & getting chased by the Feds since I was 14. First bike was an Ariel 500 sigle, soon followed by an Ariel 1000cc Square 4 for a short time, until I brought my first Triumph T110 Tiger 650 Pre-unit construction, then followed by three different Triumph Bonneville with the last being a worked T160 Trident 750/900cc. In 88 I turned my back on British bikes & oil leaks & brought a 1974 HD FL 93cu in rat bike with an open primary. In 1998 I rebuilt the HD from scratch including S&S96cu in motor with an Andrew's C grind cam & high compression pistons & Primo 3inch belt & open primary. It was a pig to Kick start, as I didn't have an electric starter, but it went like a bat out of hell. Sold it in 2002 due to family commitments, been off the road since. Then two months ago I went mad & brought a Mint condition (10,000k) HD 2009 FLSTC Heritage Custom for $25.000 on the road. It is the greatest Bike I have ever owned, & I love it dearly! In all these years I have test ridden & driven a lot of Jap bikes & cars, but have never owned one, & not likely too either! That is all!

    PS. Brought up in Morwell & the Latrobe Valley Vic, & then in 1966 bannished to Sydney, in 1999 then to Logan Qld 23 years ago! Cheers!
