I want to thank you all for your kind words and hospitality. You are the best!
My experience with springers comes about as a result of being to tight with my money and a desire to attempt most things mechanical. I've learned so much by reading about, and carefully working on these beauties. Hopefully, I'm not in the state of knowing just enough to be dangerous, although I suspect that my wife thinks otherwise. LOL! Anyway, it is fun and relaxing for me and allows me to be apart of a unique and interesting group of people!
God Bless, Scott
