"...I have completely cracked up.
I bought Bryan Hall's '74 Ironhead Sportster Bobber.
He called me a 'stand up rad dude.'
I asked my teenage son what that means, and he replied it was a compliment.
I find the bike irresistible. It has authenticity. Bryan took a stock '74 beater and reframed it, made the handlebars himself. Bent the tubing around the tree in his backyard! How cool is that? I plan to leave it basically as it is. I am drawn to this bike because of the originality, craftsmanship and honesty of the design. Lord help me..."
