CURRENT STATUS







So here is my bike in its current state. Missing a front brake line, blinkers, mirrors, speedometer. I cut the fender in the back which means every time I run over the smallest wet spot I get a dirty water streak up my back. I got rid of the leather skull and cross swords solo seat I got from eBay and threw a Biltwell Slimline on there. Let me tell ya, It feels much better! Once I get some new pipes and that front brake line run I am gonna be good to go! Only thing holding me back is my own laziness.

So here is my Kuwait Sportster in it's current state. Running fenderless sucks cause even the littlest bit of water leaves a mud stripe up your back and wet gravel in your face. So I have to throw the front fender back on and cut the stock rear one then put it on. I got a new Slimline seat from Biltwell that I am gonna throw on there and 10" shocks. Those struts are killer, I dunno how those dudes run hard tails. My headlight keeps tripping the breaker so I gotta get that figured out and wire up the brake light and I think I'll pretty much be done with this thing.

Young Blood




 I taught the kids across the street how to start my motorcycle. At least if I come home and its not there I know which door to knock on...
 



Sportster


 2002 Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200

This is my first bike! I got it a few months ago off a friend for $3600.. which is a pretty good deal, especially in the supply and demand economy of Kuwait. Not many Sportys roaming these streets.. Easy to learn on, fun to ride and runs great, couldn't have asked for a better deal! But riding in Kuwait sucks because all these punk teenagers try to run you off the road. I swear I nearly get into a fight every time I ride (which isn't often). But as soon as I stop, put my kickstand down and take my helmet off they peel out and take off. Probably for the best since I don't want to go to jail for beating a bunch of disrespectful teens half to death. I'm too pretty for jail. Or worse.. getting beat half to death by said disrespectful teenagers..
 Anyways my Sporty hasn't looked like this in months. I'll try to get a picture of its current state tomorrow and list what I've bolted on there.
