And so it was beginning :
More or less than 15 years ago I made holidays in Indonesia. I visited the islands Java, Bali and Lombok. At the end of the holiday I had to go to Jakarta again and there in a Street called Jalan Jaksa an old Harley stand beside a house. For me it was fact: I will have this bike! The bike didn't look really nice, but the engine was able to turn round and the price was ok. Do you really want to know how much I paid? It were 2000 USD including the shipment to Germany!
The Indonesian guys gave the bike a better outfit. They painted the tank and fender.
I was present during the packing of the bike, after that I was sitting in the plane to Germany and was hoping that the bike will come to Germany.
The bike came!!!!
And then the work has started - restore! Step by step the bike became nicer:
