Dain Bramage?
Little head doing the thinking?
Drinking problem?
Secret desire to cornhole yourself?

Many times I have seen guys loose thier objectivity and become emotionally attached to something completely loosing their ability to see the reality of a situation.

Whenever I feel that happening to me I stop and take a few steps back. Take someone who can be objective with you when you are considering a deal. If you are not confident of your ability to make a decision pay a professional to help you make that decision. If the other party will not allow that a red flag should be waiving. Any deal that is too good to be true, usually is. If you cannot find and identify the catch and know how to fix it and what it will cost, WALK AWAY!!!

I tell all my customers to bring anything they want to buy to me for evaluation prior to making a purchase. In ten years none has...... go figure!

Ironheads can be a frustrating lot. They require a lot of love and repairs and can be more frustrating than a two year old who loves to splash in the toilet water. But they can be a very cool and fun ride as well.

In this Day in age you need more than one Bike, every time I take my 69CH out (as I will 2 hours from now) I get that little suprise, My Horn died 2 weeks ago, speedo light bulb burnt out days later... 'They Keep Your Mechanic Skills Honed for Sure'

Hey, I dated a RedHead once [WoW], I had to Pay For that Fun as well, Nothin Comes Free Brother......

If the strain becomes more than you can bear, there's any number of people who will follow you down the same path and take it off your hands...

Brother I feel your pain. I am thinking about buying an old Ironhead that is chopped, with ape hangers, cool paint job and runs very good. The bike was built from the ground up and titled as a 2005 rebuilt bike. The reason I am considering this is I just lost my job and I might have a hard time making payments on this bike. I have a friend that said he would take up payments on my current bike.

Now back to reality I can not even change spark plugs, so I guess I will just have to try to make payments. Good Luck with yours.
