Welcome to My Ironhead Sportster

This site is about Motorcycles and Homebrewing. I'm into both.

My Bike

I've owned several motorcycles over the years. My first bike was a 1956 Aeriel 500, also known as the Red Hunter. I bought it in boxes when overseas in the navy. I had a lot of problems with that bike, and finally bought a 1969 Triumph 650, also in boxes, from a friend while still in the NAVY in Florida. (kind of developing a pattern here) I got my current bike after getting into an accident riding a bicycle. I figured it would be good therapy. A bud of mine at work who rides a Sportster,(Wazup Chuck) kept working on me for not owning a bike, and I told himm that If I ever got another one, it would have to be a Harley. A few weeks later an add showed up on the bullitin board for a 1975 Sportster. It was a "Rolling Basketcase". A good bit of this site documents the work I have done on the bike.
