Forty eight… that's a sportster model isn't it. It actually looks pretty nice. I went off new bikes many years ago but this one looks like it's based on old school Harleys.
I actually might go and take a look at that bike but it wouldn't surprise me if its not available here. I gotta get something with an electric start, my main rider still gotta be kick started and my knee doesnt like it sometimes. Not really a fan of the sports bikes with all the crap on them but this bike looks good. -
Harley has done a great job with their Sportster models. The 48, The 72 and 883 Iron are all really nice retro looking bikes. I am planning on customizing an 883 in the next year as a project to keep me busy during the off season. While sportsters are a little small for me, I really like the look and they are great for the city. My son would love one, but I told him he can be like me and wait until he's in his 40's and has grown kids before getting a bike!

You need to get him a bike pronto if he's old enough and wants one. To long to wait till 40's. When I came home from getting my license my dad surprised me with a brand new commando. That same bike today is probably my main rider.
There's something special when a father and son share a love for bikes.
We got this one to do together a few years ago but he got too old and I just cant get enough enthusiasm going to do it on my own. Maybe oneday.

Thank you for sharing. Wow that is an awesome project, I hope you guys are able to get to it at some point! We do work on my bike together at times, my boy is old enough (20) but he's an elite level athlete and now playing college football. A motorcycle for him can wait until he's exhausted that avenue. We share our love for football right now as I am a professional coach for a living and hopefully we will share our passion for bikes and ride together down the line.

That's fair enough Twism. I'm sure you've got his best interests at heart but sometimes a fathers judgement can get a bit clouded about what their son wants and needs. No disrespect to you of course.
That bike may get done one day but it wont be by me and him, he doesn't even know who I am now.

I'm pretty sure I inherited my love of motorcycles from my dad, who rode from his 20s into his 80s. Many happy memories of riding together, talking about MCs, looking at MCs…
When I get it back I will post pics of what I am having done to his 97 Dyna - I don't have the skill or time to work on it myself, but I am going to have some fun with it - in his memory.
