Kyle the bike looks impressive. Did you design the bike? There is some heavy duty stuff there. Straight handle bars are great for control and the front and rear shock system very nice.

It's a real eye catcher.

Thanks Andy!

John, I bought the bike in the spring time and then had them replace the handlebars, crankshaft, wheels, tires, and brakes. Where are you planning on taking the trailer for it's first trip!?

This is what it looked like stock:

Morning

Kyle the bike has good bones. The first trip will be to Myrtle Beach for a week and then a week at the outer banks of North Carolina. Sometime in the spring or early summer. Humor we have two air conditioners lol

There is frost on the ground and on our vehicles. I'll wait a while until I go out to do some cleaning in the garage. You guys work out there this morning dress accordingly. Like I need to say that.

Yesterday the tree people came and removed about 8 trees from my neighbors back yard. It amazes me how they do it. Some of the branches were over my garage and they used block and tackle cut it and swung it directly into a wood chipper. the trees were about 80' tall and needed to come down.

Enjoy the weekend.

Good morning everyone.

Got back around dinner time last night. Surprising how warm it is up here, this may prove to be an unusual winter. I'm waiting on a confirmation, but I may be going to South Carolina for 3 weeks in January. There are worse times to go south!

Morning

I explained on the GTG post why I didn't make it. Really wanted to be there. Tired and probably will go back to bed for the afternoon. Talk tomorrow.

We did have a good time, and a decent turnout. Guess we'll just have to do it again so you can make it. I felt pretty inadequate with all the nice trucks there, and ferrari.
