Recently I was contacted by one of the administrators here at UsedHogParts.com about doing a blog of my bike projects. Since I love to talk about bikes, naturally I jumped at the chance. For those of you who have been following Frank’s journey across the USA, let me introduce myself.
My name is Geoff Brown, I’m Frank’s “little” brother. I’ve been riding motorcycles since I was five, when our dad brought home a Honda Z50 mini trail for me. At sixteen I was riding a two-stroke oil-injected enduro, on which I took my cycle endorsment test. After that I rode several different metric cycles until I bought my first Harley, a 1974 Sportster at age 29. At age 31 I purchased a 2001 Ultra Classic.
Although the Sportster was my first Harley, I didn’t ride it until this spring. It took five years of work in my spare time to get the bike restored, modified and road-worthy. I hope you enjoy the stories of these two bikes as much as I will enjoy telling them.

Hey, "little" bro, glad to hear you are going to share your experience with us! Will you be using the same models for all your entries? lol I’m looking forward to reading your stories.
To both of my “little brothers”
Frank - loved “riding with you and Sharon”. You saw a lot of the stuff I did on my trip across country way back in OMG 1976! I am so glad you had a great time and were safe! (I knew you would watch out for those folks who “don’t see motorcycles”.)
Geoff -
You love motorcycles the way I love my baskets. The sportster looks nice! Have fun with the blog!
Love you both -
