Been a while since I graced the pages of Oz Firestorm so here goes.
After 14 years my teal Storm OZFS is gone yep never thought I would do it but hey stranger things have happened ay!
Around 20 years ago I was an avid reader of Sportster.org and fell in lust with the 1200 Customs.
The time came and went.....you know life and all that shit got in the way and my ambitions of owning one
of these critters was put to the back of my mind (sort of).
Sadly Sportster.org was sold off and went quietly off to the bulletin board retirement home.
But I was always in love with the Sportys and now I OWN ONE!
Wow they have come a long way since I first hungered for a 99 1200c with no gimmicks or fancy stuph.
I have bought myself a 2015 1200 Custom that had 315ks on it.....yep I hunted down the back story to find out WTF
it had only traveled 300 odd klm. Turnes out it was sold by a Central Vic HD dealer to a bloke that collects Harleys.
He purchased the bike in hope of getting his father inlaw back on a bike again...used to own Trumpys and BSAs in the day.
The old bloke didn't take to the bike and it sat in the "shed" with the rest of the collection for a year...just in case he
changed his mind. So his loss my gain got me a pretty much new 2015 Sportster with 315ks on the clock and a set of
Vance and Hines slashcut pipes thrown in with the deal...f**k its loud...wicked loud!
Anyway just thought I would share the love and yes it was bloody hard to part with OZFS after so long.
Might as well throw in a pick of the new toy just for shits and giggles.
