I had to work in the fields helping farmers until I saved enough money to buy an engine!! My friends thought I was crazy because I had at the time a very nice Harley Softail Custom. I sold that bike and had to save up an additional 4,000 dollars just to complete my first Boss Hoss!! I built it myself and sold it after riding it 6 months and made a 7,000 dollar profit! I ordered another kit but this time the engine was in the frame. This bike was a 99 model and I used the profit to make it nicer than the first one. The first one had only 300 dollar black paint job, haha. The second one I spent 2500 on the paint and was the bike I won the first place trophy in the Rats Hole Custom bike show in Sturgis in August 1999. Then I took the bike to Daytona where I won the Second place trophy in the Rats Hole Show there March 2000!! I had put a very tiny postage stamp size "for sale, make offer" on the backrest. A guy ran across the street to look at the bike and when he saw it was for sale, one half hour later I had his 28,000 dollars cash in my front pocket. Hahaha. I was sleeping in the back of my pickup for a few days on the side of the road on my way home and had to keep waking up to see if the money was still in my front pocket!!

They say you have to be young and dumb before you can be old and wise!!!! Wild times for sure and great memories!! WM
