1967 FLH Help.
Okay my blogger friends... here is the scoop. I have a chance to buy a bike from a dear friend/Viet Nam Vet who has retired and is now going to spend retirement in his motor home checking out the U.S. This bike is special, as it is a part of my memory life back in the late 70's when I first started riding around Orange County... albeit on the hineee seat. I set my feet at Cooks Corners in 1978 with him and two other men who gave me my very best girlsfriends, Pammeramps and Wild Val. Here's the info. I need help in pricing and help in finding out what its going to take. This is a copy of the e-mail with some info on it:
Its a 1967 FLH. They only made that model for 4 years. It has sat for a long time. The tranny and lower end are good. Pistons need some attention. Master brake cylinder needs to be rebuilt...battery probably tires, chain. He raced it against the best back when and the speedo pegged at 120 mph and never came back. Still sets on 120. He was never beat. Engine guts are S&S, He had an old school guy who did all the balancing on Edelbraks raceing engines balance it. All the engine parts are balaced to 36th 100th of a gram stroked 84 inches, Andrews B grind cam S&S super carb. He has all the stuff I would need to put an electric start.
There it is so far as far as information. Keep in mind I am not a wrencher. Give it to me.

California Traffic Tickets Fines Effective 1/6/2011
This was sent to me from fellow friend and rider David G. on my Facebook page. If you don't know about these new laws... read on. I didn't know the ticket price on most and its worthy to keep it in mind while driving/riding California. Thank you David for passing this info on.
California Traffic Tickets Fines Effective 01/06/2011
HUGE California Traffic Tickets Fines Effective 01/06/2011
Please be extremely careful in your driving and car registration & insurance matters. California is broke!
Effective immediately, if you do not stop at a red light, be ready to pay $436 in fines, or if you pass a school bus with flashing red signals, you will be charged $616. The State of California is going for blood, so be extra careful in driving, You cannot afford messing with them. The next time you park in the handicapped zone, even for a minute, you could be looking at almost $ 1000 in parking tickets , so it'd better be worth it.
California needs your money, so pay close attention to the rules of the road!

New Motorcycle Law For Under 21.
I think this is a great law. I probably will get some flack for that comment, but most know I am in for education for riding motorcycles. This law took effect January 2, 2011. It requires that all under the age of 21 take a motorcycle/rider course. Bravo I say! Bravo!
