Feel a bit stupid admitting that here amongst all the news of HD's latest bikes. As I enjoy working on bikes and riding old bikes why not a 1972 XLCH Ironhead, surly they are no more unreliable than an old Triumph or Norton. With a claimed hp of 61 suspect it will feel like a rocket or at the very least a very fast turbo prop!
If anyone feels the need to talk me out of it please feel free. All other comments welcomed. It's not a done deal at this point so can still back out if someone presents very compelling reasons to avoid. if I go ahead with this will post some updates as to progress on it's reconstruction. At the moment the bike I'm looking at is up and running and on the road but I'm unable to leave any new bike (to me!) alone for long.
