Hello
I am just new .My name is Torsten I am originally from Germany but lived in NM for 3 years then in Canada for 10 and now in TX. Just bought a nice dark blue 89 with 32000 miles. It is my first bike since I left Germany in 99. I was sure that I would end up in jail when I moved to the states  after riding bikes without speed limit four so many years. My previous bikes were Suzuki Gt 500 ,Yamaha RD350 LC , Kawasaki z650, z900 ,GPZ 750 Turbo and last but not least GPZ 1100 Uni Track. Now since I am a little bit older I looked for a cruiser till I found this beauty and fell in love with her.She is in top shape and almost original the only after marked is a Vance&Hines 4 in 1, and today I put some progressive fork springs in because the original were terrible. Talk to you soon.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely, in an attractive & well preserved body...but rather to slide in sideways, body completely worn out and and with your last dying breath screaming, "HOOOYA LIFE, lets try that again"!!!
