Let's see your JK's and Harley's
My bikes and JK. I built the red (shovel) from the ground up... old-skool. I sold the Screamin Eagle this past summer, argh (I could kick myself for that one)... have since replaced with my next project bike, an EVO ex-cop Roadking.
I personally think that Harleys and Jeeps share a common bond with owners and the need to mod

Really diggin' the Buell! I've been looking at them for a while now. I've always had crotch rockets in the past (my last was a GSX-R), but I think my next bike will be the Buell 1125R.

The 1125 is a sweet bike. Not as familiar with them, as i have not ridden one. I would think they will be very similar to a ducati. The motor is without a doubt smoother than the XB, and has more power. That being said, I came from a ZX6R and GSXR600 into my XB12, and wouldn't go back for anything. It is a completely different experience than anything else I have ridden. Pretty much as close to ridding just a motor as you can possibly get. I LOVE IT!

Nice looking shovel man, great job.
Here is my 06 Ultra before I traded it for my 08 JK.

Great to see these bikes.
Thanks for the pictures which bring back many many memories for me.
From 1974 untill 2005 I rode bikes a total of about 550,000 miles, 400+K of that on Hogs. For a time I had 3 bikes including the CR500, the hog, the duck, and a 6mpg 'vette.
No go with my current bone surgeon (I've had a total of 8 breaks in my right shoulder alone!) so I finally retired the last one, now in Australia.
Out of them all, from my '77 Low Rider to the '93 Duck, this was my favorite, my '85 Softail stripped and modded for the open road. I sold her for $500 more than she cost 15 years after I wheeled her out of Kirby's Harley Davidson showroom, with 198K on clock. Unbelievably, never burned a drop of oil, but she did mark her spot with a drop of transfer case lube everywhere she went.
Never failed to make it back home, except for the time in 1990 when she totaled a 88 Celica trying to cut across the highway.
The only part off her in the road? The push on oil cap!
My damage? 6 1/2 years later I discovered I had crushed the inside of my kneecap (it didn't hurt for 2-3 years).

Shout out to Killeen!! Many (many) years ago a band I was in played at the Crazy Horse Saloon !! Not there anymore, me-thinks, but it was one wild military base type bar!!!
Sorry for the hi-jack!!
PS - no JK yet, just a TJ and CJ and no Harley just a Suzuki Dual sport and some honda dirt bikes !! Sold the street bikes (wife likes to ride as well) when she got pregnant!
