Jesse and the panhead


So this is the guy I got my first Harley from. His name is Jesse. I put an ad on craigslist saying "sell me your sportster, I have money burning a hole in my pocket". And he was the one who replied with " I got a sporty come check it out". Well I had $3000 ready to go.... Then sure enough my car broke down that week. cost me $500 to put a new water pump in. this was after I had already told Jesse I would be there in a couple of days to buy the sporty. I called him up and said, man i really want the bike but my car broke down and I only have $2500...... Well he said can you come and get it today?.... I said hell yea!! "well come get your new bike boy".  So I went to his house, Met Jesse and drove home my new to me sportster in the back of my buddy's truck. she was ugly but I already new what I was going to do to her. Jesse was one of the coolest  bikers I have ever met. hes a good dude who knows a shit ton about old harleys. He has some of the coolest shit I have seen in someones garage. Parts every where, enough to completely build a bike or two, and a good amount of his own bikes lying around that hes working on. But the one thing that stays in my head is the bad ass original panhead hes has. after seeing that bike I now know what my dream bike is.... I hope that one day Jesse and I can do a couple of bike runs, I know he has to have a shit ton of stories....
