Selling my 1999 Harley-Davidson Sportster 883

Due to having three bikes and only riding the Sportster a few times a month, I have decided to sell it.  I love the bike and always smile riding it, but 3 sets of registration and insurance just aren't making sense.

I have it listed on Craigslist out here in San Diego:  http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/mcy/4508191974.html
and here's a picture of the bike:

As you can see, some customizing done.  I like the clean understated but non-stock look.  Asking $2999 with current tags and clean title in hand.  Thanks!

"Wheelin' Wednesday" AND preview of "Rule 5 for Building a Blog Following"

A while ago I posted about the fifth rule of building a blog following, which is include pictures of women routinely in your blog.  Whether the pictures are related to the topic or not, some bloggers feel this will increase viewership, but that isn't what I want to do on this blog.  Instead, in that post and going forward, I want to feature women motorcyclist.  I am fortunate to know many lady riders from my wife who had an "M" endorsement before I ever did to some pro and nearly pro racers.  In between are women who ride for recreation, those who ride on the street, canyons and track, one who is an exceptional instructor, and the lady who will likely be the first "virtual interviewee", Michelle Voigt.  Michelle is a highly skilled rider, local meet-up and FB page organizer, and retired Navy Chief Petty Officer.  She has agreed to an e-mail interview, as we have found catching up with each other in person is nearly impossible!  Last year it took us three months and multiple events to even say "Hi" and another month to finally have a real conversation-she's that busy!

So in keeping with "Rule 5" but also tastefulness, and a riding pic for the blog, here's a picture of Michelle railing it out on CA 94, one of San Diego's best "playgrounds" for motorcyclists.
