    Quite! :D

    If all the stars line up correctly and with a little luck, i want to purchase my all time favourite bike sometime this year. A 1975 HARLEY-DAVIDSON LOW RIDER.

    Used to ride in my younger days and would love to get back in the saddle again. :cool:

    re Snowbounds 75 Lowrider

    Hiya, lovely looking bike, but to change a stock 75 Lowrider into something like that is a lot of work and money. I have been building custom Harleys for 25 years now, so if i can help in any way regarding advice, tech info or suppliers ( i know a few good folk in Canada), please get in touch. You might like to have a look at my website,

    Yeah i know, you're right as it would cost big bucks for that transformation.

    What i want(that one) and what i end up with might be a different matter. ;)

    Thanks for the link, i'll check it out. :cool:

    My uncle previously made quality custom exhausts for cars and motorbikes. He also currently rides a motorbike himself and has done for many years. My parents think motorbikes are dangerous compared to cars and I know they can be because my uncle has come off one before. Still look good :cool:

    Yes i have and it is a bike lovers dream. :eek:

    The pics are great and i especilly like the Glos run page with all the wonderful photos and it looks like a good time all around. :cool:

    If i do decide to purchase a Harley this yr., i'll definitely be looking at the CHOPPER CLUB page for help and insight.

    The sight is fantastic.

    Thanks for your comments on the website, it needs updating but getting the time is the problem. If I can help in anyway, contact me , I am only too willing to share the knowledge I have in my field of expertise (lol).

    Nice looking shovel. I know what it feels like to have a bike ripped off, my first Harley was stolen from my workshop. Never got the bike back, but I did find out who was responsible and "dealt with it" :ninja: - No justice, just me.
    Jimbob,
    Does your uncle still make exhausts by any chance?

    I am currently building a new chop, would it be ok to post a few pics of it as the build progresses?

    During my time on this old planet I have owned ninteen motorcycles and loved them all. It is the best way I know to stay young, saddle up and hit the road. :cool:

    Hi all
    well i have finished the dry build on the bike and it has now been stripped back down and gone off for paint. I have not posted the specs and details for the bike as I am not sure whether they would mean much to folk here ( not a dig at anyone, just genuine uncertainty ), but if you are interested i will.
    I have taken a few pics but cant post them here as file size is too big at 600k, how do i get around this?

    comments welcome

    Jock
