 Just a little from my little world.
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

More pictures please and what services do you provide. If I ever wander over that way, I will definitely stop by. Your website looks good but not enough pics.
Are you the full owner?
Is there a bar in the back?

I do nearly every thing to a motorcycle. Hell I even changed a fuel pump on a Ford focus the other day. Thats not even a motorcycle.

That's a sharp logo you've got. I doubt that I'll get to your part of the country, but I would wear a T-shirt with your Ironhorse Outfitter logo on the back. Let us know when you fire up the production line.  XXL. $$$ in hand.

Thanks for the extra pics. I can't see the oil you sell. What is it you recommend at your shop.

Very nice shop and website, a going concern. Very classy, no stripper poles or HD women's swimwear.  Who is that little Miss on the HD, daughter?, Beautiful child. Good luck, rock on Crazyhorse.

Great looking place you got there Chad. One question, where did you hide all the grease and grime? That's one of the cleanest shops I've ever seen. Little slice of Heaven right here on Earth.

Ya beat me to it Matt, I was also on the "can a shop really be that clean?" trail. Nice looking spot Chad, how's that GFG project coming?

Hey, it's a repair shop.
When I was a paramedic my ambulance wasn't usually full of healthy people. There was a disproportionate number of crackheads and meth addicts.
Same deal.

Oh, for SHAME, Chet...for SHAME! I mean equating crackheads and meth addicts with our riding brethren who might prefer owning a Harley-Davidson instead of a Triumph!
Now sure, MANY of those H-D riders MIGHT BE "a little lost" when it comes to the ability to discern a superior brand of motorcycle, BUT I REALLY doubt that the vast majority of them are SO "lost" in a life of bad choices that they might resort to the misguided use of illict DRUGS in order to achieve some sort of balance in their lives.
(...and so in closing, PLEASE if you would in the future attempt to find more fitting analogies to represent some opinion you might wish to share with others here at BA.com, as the one you chose above seems to be a weak effort on your part, and I KNOW you can do better in this regard)

I gathered that it was the actual HD motorcycles that he was comparing to meth addicts and crackheads.  After all, they are the bikes most likely to rob you, run up your credit cards, and be a general pain in the ass. And end up in the repair shop (hospital).

Bingo.
In fact I don't believe I've ever heard of a Harley rider abusing drugs. They just aren't THAT kind of people.

Oh, gee this thread has taken a turn for the worse. In fact there were 3 harleys, 1 big dog, 1 honda cb 500 a 72 at that, and my Matilda in that pic. Even though you can't see them all.
If you can afford a new harley you can't really afford drugs too. Even though I question the mind of a fella who runs out and buys a Harley based on name alone.
