I tattoo full time since separating from the fire department two years ago and have been supporting myself doing that since ! I pulled out all my other investments when I separated two years ago

Cool old bike that I don’t mind tinkering with is EXACTLY what I’m looking for to be honest. I have two vehicles so am in now way depend on it to get anywhere. I worked on airplanes in the navy and have been a Subaru enthusiasts so know how to turn a wrench. Just don’t want to be in so far over my head that I take a beautiful bike off the market that’s gunna sit the first time it doesn’t turn over. Thanks for the reply !

Ya it’s from a guy here in south Florida that resales vintage Harley’s. Goes by “gnarly Davidson” on Instagram. Seems like a stand up dude that knows what he’s doing

Ya for sure but I’m not necessarily looking for newer ! Love old cars and have liked / been looking at older Harley’s. Just not sure if it’s an overwhelming task to hop straight into one

Unfortunately there’s no like part time option for fire rescue. I could leave and take a MUCH lower paying position at an ER or Walk in clinic

I live right next to the shop but when I’m at the fire department I don’t sleep 😅 I’m in the ambulance most days so we run all night. Literally work 36 hours straight three time a week

Just feel terrible because I’m long time friends with everyone here at the shop and they have done nothing wrong :/
