    Lol,  I stay in 2nd gear a lot.  Then a short 100kmh run between villages… sometimes I get stuck behind a tractor 😂

    You make it sound as if your in the high country in Papua New Guinea!

    Doesn't take us long to get around a tractor.
    Not so much the mainlanders that visit, they seem to have trouble staying on the bitumen.

    Took the first step in fixing the gear linkage on the Sportster, put a cable tie on the clutch lever and rolled it out of the shed to pressure wash it. I swear I could see it blinking, it hasn't come out for a year.

    Here it is in all its rat glory, with its hillbilly single seat conversion done with a bread knife and duct tape, Fat Bob front wheel on the back, 21" front with '70s Superglide chromed mudguard over it, Oz made 4 piston caliper on the front, home made sissy bar, no ignition box behind the battery, mismatched mirrors, single throttle cable, battlescarred flame paint from '92 on it, short shocks from a '90s Dyna with Ikon Sporty springs on them, 10 litre tank with battered chromed brass cap off something '30s and British, God knows what else.
    I should have it running again next week, then might muck around with it a bit more. Sprung saddle? +2" fork tubes? early Street Bob limp dick tail light on a shortened mudguard?
    Anyone on here have one of those spare and wanna sell it?

    Many of a memory there Steve......look after that old girl.

    Hell, I plan on flogging the living daylights out of it like I've always done  and fixing what breaks.
