Harley Davidson!


Well...here it is. My latest investment. I found this bike locally on Craigslist, I emailed him literally 30 seconds after he posted it. It was a smoking deal so I had to jump on it, I spent a month selling off much of my video game collection but it was well worth it, this bike is amazing, a huge upgrade from the Suzuki.

It's a 2001 Harley Davidson Sportster 1200 Custom. Even though it's 9 years old, it has barely any miles on it and looks brand new. The only things I want to do to it is add a sissy bar and a windshield. The previous owner also had a bunch of upgrades done so this bike is awesome. The pipes are loud and it has a nice chug to it. I can't wait to get some riding done on it.

Bye, Bye Games

Well...I had to sell my arcade games. Both Space Encounters units, and my Lock 'n' Chase were sold this morning...I'm glad to see that they're going to a good home though. I've also sold my '77 Suzuki motorcycle that I showed in my previous posts. On top of that, I've also sold a few hundred dollars worth of console systems and games. I'm still hoping to sell my bartop MAME cabinet, and there isn't any interest in the upright MAME cab so unfortunately, it looks like that one is going to become firewood pretty soon. I still have the Pong, that is the only one I'm keeping for now. I'll build my collection back up soon enough once I move to Florida.

As much as I hate to see my life collection thinning out, there is a positive aspect to this all...

...I bought a Harley-Davidson! My new toy, a 2001 HD Sportster 1200. It is beautiful. I can't wait to get it on the road. I'll have some photos up on Sunday or Monday once I pick it up.
