Congrats Tripp. Leigh is wanting to get her license to ride.

I am a little jealous Max, sweet looking ride!!!!

It's about this time of year that I miss my bike, sold it when I bought a boat, not sure if it was a good swap

[shilala]

While the weather was still crap, I fixed the bad light on my light bar up front. The guys at the Honda shop had put the light bar on an unswitched circuit thinking they were helping me out (helping kill my battery, I suppose).
So, while I was installing an iPhone charger and speakers and an iPhone holder on my bike, I moved those lights back to a switched circuit. I'd like to put them on my high beams, but that'll have to wait.
I got a new leather jacket with a hoodie built in, I love it. Lisa and I are both looking for boots.
I managed to rip my trunk bad yesterday because I never rectified the retarded situation the original owner created there. I guess that makes me twice the tard.
We got 125 miles in yesterday, it's the 5th or 6th time I've been out this year, but the first time I didn't freeze my nads off.
So that's where we're at.
We need boots, and I'd like to get cruise put on Lisa's little 500 Shadow. I love mine, it's a big help. I'm sure she'd enjoy it, too.
Oh, and chrome...
I need a front fender rail, and I need to find a front fender tail, chromed. I don't want the tail, but the original owner had a leather mudflap with tassles and reflectors on there that hit the road and cracked the fender all up around the screw holes. A fender tail would cover all that mess and keep stuff from cracking further.
There's some more chromage I'm waffling about, but ya just gotta go one chunk at a time.

Don't make her too heavy, she'll get slow.

I blew the mouse fetuses out of the V&H pipes, so I'm getting about 75 out of her. I'd like to lose another 15 mph or so, and I'll be right where I'm happy.
I forgot to mention, I got a brand new stock seat on ebay for $125. Mine had a big gash melted in it. What happened to it, I'll never know, but it was nasty. It made a big diff in "newing up" the bike.
Weight change=neutral (unless there's a difference in unburned plastic vs. non-burned plastic.)

Scott, don't you have back problems? That seat will be the death of you. I'd rather sit on concrete. Check out Mustangs (my preference for you bike) or Corbin.

Bikes been down for over a week now and seeing the sun out makes we want to ride something kind of bad.

Anybody get/getting some new accessories for the season?

[TBone]

Sweet looking bike Hal...

^^ Nice looking ride!

Looking to put some new sintered plates in this week and replace the filter. Got my pipes back on after getting them ceramic coated and need this weather to cooperate so I can get my ride on.

My '02 intruder





my new mirrors and levers. The edges are really sharp. I just cut my leg open on the clutch lever.

I don't think I could get my leg high enough to touch my clutch lever!

My first Harley I got last week. It's an 99 1200 Sportster. Got a sweet deal on it. This is before I shined all the chrome.

The handle bars were turned all the way to the left so the lever was pretty low.
