When we returned to the USA just shortly
after Katrina, we were at the Harley Davidson
dealership in Baton Rouge picking out a new
2006 Fat Boy . . . a red one!
After enjoying local riding on our Fatboy for 5 to
6 years, we decided to upgrade to a 2012 Street
Glide for better riding comfort for both of us on
longer rides.

Things were going great until a small
misfortunate accident caused some body
damage and road rash. Its from that incident
that I decided if I have to repair the bike, why
not repair it with nicer stuff. And like a lot of
projects, this one went thru the roof before we
knew it and hey . . . . once you’re that close, just
bite the bullet and go for the gusto!
And today, my wife and I now own one of the
nicest bikes around, or at least in our biased
opinion!
