I'm going to be taking motorcycle building courses...
Chopper Tech: V-Twin Technical School. Repair, Maintain and Customize Your Dream Bike
I figured I'd take these course to get comfortable with the basics of building bikes... you know, past the bolt on and saw off skills. Subsequent to taking these courses, if I'm comfortable, the Street Bob will be sold and I will build a bike frame, up. Reason I don't do any work -- like installing those handlebars -- is because I get little free time and so I take that free time to ride (and do oil changes).
What do you think? Anyone had experience with this course?
I want to learn!!!!!!! SK8 won't teach me...

Then in August, instead of going to Sturgis to get my bike stolen, see old boobs, and sleep in a tent next to two fat people having relations, I'm coming to your place. I will bring wine and cheese. Deal?  You can rent me one of them bikes you got in the back you don't tell anyone about.
