Since everyone is showing off their new toys, here is one I picked up last week. 1958 Sporty, she runs if you got a good kicking leg. Not bad for $1500, we'll see how bad it hurts once I figure out if I want to restore it or just clean it up and repaint.

I miss my '66 XLCH but it paid for 2 years of college (back in the day)
I think that's the most beautiful bike I've ever seen. What's wrong with the paint? Don't look too bad, I'd put a nice leather springer seat on it and drive it.
The paint is decent, already have a spring seat for it. I like black and blue, may do it up like my other bike.
Everything that is black on this one except the pipes, is powder coat.Very few factory parts, really like the Road Kind air ride.

Very Nice. If I look closely in the pic, I see the bad spots on the paint. I think it'd look good OD green. But then again, I think everything would look good OD green. But I'd probably go with the blue.
That's a sharp ride! I hope she turns out the way you envision her. It's nice to see one of those ol' gals get a second lease on life.
wow this is awesome !!!
Just Joking, would not mind a Sporty, But after I hit a deer a couple of years ago there is no More Kicking for me. So will need to find a newer one or convert and older one.
Also a well set up Sporty is one real Fuel Efficient ride. Have heard of 50-70 MPG.

That girls bike, has made more than a few "mens" bikes cry.[:)][:)]
I like that seat MVP[:)], the seat was not bolted on when U picked up the bike. It got to ride shotgun on the way home. Looks like she is getting a spring seat.
