Black Rainbows

I had been dreaming up this bike for along time now. I have always wanted to have my own personal knucklehead to keep for myself and to pass onto my children but I have never been able to do it.. Until i found the perfect candidate patiently aging in an Arizona garage last April. Over the past few years I have been slowly collecting the bits to build my dream bike, first came the 1947 motor, frame and a bunch more little bits and she slowly began to take form. I regrettably sold my shovelhead last april when I bought it and had been bikeless since then, so I had been going crazy not being able to ride my own bike...

So two weeks ago  when i fired her up for the first it was amazing to say the least I cant think of the proper words to say to express how it felt. Anyone who has poured their blood sweat and tears into something knows what I am rambling on about. But this time was even extra special for me cause i didn't build her alone my closest friends all had a part in her becoming what she is, my dream bike.... Thanks you all for making her come true. Love Jeremiah
