"MY BABY"  

WHEN I FIRST MET ANNETTE SHE WAS IN AN AWFUL DILEMA. IT SEEMED HER ,NOW EX HUSBAND, HAD DECIDED TO DO SOME WORK ON HER BIKE AND HAD STRIPPED IT INTO MANY PIECES. THROUGHOUT THE FOLLOWING YEAR SHE HAD TAKEN IT TO VARIOUS BIKE SHOPS TO TRY AND HAVE IT AT LEAST PUT BACK TOGETHER. AFTER MONTHS AND MONTHS OF THE TYPICAL RUN AROUND SHE BROUGHT HER BABY TO US. GUESS NOBODY HAS TOME TO FIX AN OLD IRON HEAD THESE DAYS. SEEMS THEY ARE ALL EVO CRAZY OR JUST HAVE AN UPPITY ATTITUDE. DEFINATELY NO RESPECT FOR OTHERS TO JUST COMPLETELY KEEP LEADING THIS NICE LADY ON INTO BELIEVING THAT SOME DAY ,IN THEIR OH SO BUSY SCHEDULE, THEY MIGHT ACTUALLY PUT HER BIKE BACK TOGETHER FOR HER!

SO SHE ENDED UP HERE WITH US. WE ASSEMBLED HER BIKE FOR HER AND HAD HER ON THE ROAD WITHIN WEEKS. NOW SHE HAS COME BACK AND WOULD LIKE US TO DO A FACE LIFT ON "HER BABY". "JUST PRETTY IT UP SOME" WERE HER EXACT WORDS. SO WE ARE ALSO GOING TO DO A LITTLE OF IT HERE SO SHE CAN , NOT LIVING CLOSE TO US, KEEP AN ON HER "BABY" AS SHE GETS A NEW OUTFIT! AS YOU CAN SEE SHE IS A BASIC 1984 IRON HEAD SPORTY. NOW NOT WANTING TO BREAK THE BANK OR, AS WE LAUGHED ABOUT, HAVE TO PUT OUT A RED LIGHT ON A SATURDAY NIGHT FOR THE EXTRA MONEY WE WILL TRY TO WORK WITHIN HER BUDGET BUT YET MAKE "BABY" AS PRETTY AS WE CAN. AFTER ALL SHE HAS TO SAVE SOME COIN TOWARDS THE "DREAM BIKE" PICTURES SHE BRINGS TO SHOW ME AND SAYS WITH A GLEAM IN HER EYE AND A SMILE......"SOMEDAY".....

THE PLAN IS TO FIRST LOWER HER 2" SO SHE IS EASY TO HANDLE. NEW CHROME HAND CONTOLS, NESS PULL BACK BARS, SOME SELF CANCELING SIGNAL LIGHT SWITCHS, SOME CHROME HERE...SOME CHROME THERE, A NEW FAT BOB STYLE TANK ARE JUST SOME OF THE EXTRA'S TO BE ADDED. THERES TALK OF MAYBE SOME NEW WHEELS AND EVEN SOME NEW PAINT. SO HERE SHE IS BEFORE WE GET GOING AND WE WILL KEEP YOU....AND ANNETTEE UPDATED AS SHE BEGINS TO TRANSFORM JUST LIKE THE PROVERBIAL......

Have a look Annette!
