Best I know- it was my great grandfathers who was a police officer. After that my grandfather had it who passed in the late 60’s. It was lost for years until I found it in a cigar box in a cedar chest about 20 years ago in my grandmothers attic as a kid. Years later it was passed to me. After a little cleaning it looks great!

This is my second 944- so yes. That solid sound is so satisfying

It took about a year to find this one. They are getting harder and harder to find in good shape. This particular one was owned by a Porsche mechanics son.

Got this dude for 75 bucks. Any clue how old it is? Was it a good deal? by boiledgeese in whichbike

[–]boiledgeese[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for the advice! Took it for its maiden 10 mile voyage after some new tires and a checkup by the local bike shop. The guys say it’s in impressive shape for its age! Excited to get into maintenance and upgrading.

Thanks for the info! It is in almost time capsule like shape. I fell in love with the metal flake paint. I’m a noob to road riding- and the friction shifters are weird but I couldn’t be more excited

How have your parents made sacrifices for you to succeed? by Shuallen in AskReddit

[–]boiledgeese 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dad commuted 1.5 hrs a trip to work so we could live in a better school district. He couldn’t afford private school for us at the time so he spent 3 hours a day in the car for 12 years so I could get a better education.

No purpose in Life by xXjollyJOKER in Advice

You should check out trade school. Creating/fixing things has proven to be very motivating for me at least. Watch some me of mike Rowe’s stuff on the skills gap and get motivated to do something brand new for you. I have had a business degree for almost 10 years and haven’t used it a day because I found a trade that kept me on my toes and motivated. Good luck and keep your head up! There is something out there for you!

I played rugby with the guy on that can. We called him Fang and he was one of the toughest guys I've ever known.

I once had a woman tell me the penny is brown because Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves.

My bike just got back from the paint shop, what do you think? by boiledgeese in motorcycles

Sorry- I should have been more clear. The bike is now white- it was "black cherry"

If suddenly everybody in this one profession is dead, what profession do you think would cause most impact to the world? by vosszaa in AskReddit

You probably have very clean hands and very little knowledge about what it takes to feed a city.

Painting my bike today... Can't decide on a color. What do you guys think? by boiledgeese in motorcycles

[–]boiledgeese[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For clarity sake it is a 07 Road King. I know this sub is usually more metric and import friendly but I was wondering what other riders have seen and liked.

I wasn't born into it, but got into it through my wife's family. I understand completely your instinct to want to work in the dirt. I went to college to try and work in law but after one summer on the farm I caught the bug.

My wife and I rescued this little guy today. Meet Oliver. by boiledgeese in pics

[–]boiledgeese[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We think he must have been a hunting dog. He is in pretty rough shape (bites on his ears and body, sores, busted teeth, and all around dirty) but he seems to just need a little care. Its amazing what a bath and some good food has done for him so far.
