yup, now all you're needing is a sissy bar and some saddle bags, I see you've already got the passenger pegs.
I had to work Sat and spent Sunday working on my generator and otherwise gathering stuff to go to War Eagle. I gotta put a back tire on the bike before we go anywhere, it's gettin' kind of thin in the middle. Prolly get it done about the time the weather gets bad.

Yep, been looking for the bags and bar, looks like the $$ never end. I'll get it like I want it yet.

Don't know what the acronym is for Ford trucks, but Harley-Davidson=HD=Hundred Dollars. I once walked out of Rodney's in LR having spent only $2.87. My all time record. Usually it's like $287.00

I only know a couple of acronyms for Ford..and some of them could get you banned from this site. But I'll agree on how HD is proud of anything with their name on it. A couple of years ago I picked up a dealer T-shirt for a cousin for Christmas. Thankfully the one I picked up was the former name of the dealer, so they were 1/2 off...but they were still expensive shirts. I've said it before, I'd love to have a HD...but they are VERY proud of them; and I work for a living.

precisely why the newest one we own is my wife's '87 bagger. Her Superglide is an '85 and my bagger is an '82.
I spend a lot of time in the shop, but that's fun to me too.

Yep, Hundred Dollar is about right. Went to Bossier HD last week, walked out with a jacket, gloves and a docking kit for the sissy bar, spent around $250. I wouldn't buy a new HD, wouldn't want one. In looking for a bike, I suspect a lot of folks don't want the newer ones either, most for sale are 2000 and later, seldom older.
Missed a set of saddle bags on e-bay today, went for more than I wanted to pay, still have a bid on a sissy bar though, we'll see how that goes.
Zack, too bad you work on Sat. there's a great car show at Wilberton, OK this weekend, I'll be there. Average around 475-500 vehicles every year.

Going anywhere near War Eagle to get there? I've got the trailer all loaded except for food and all our display stuff packed. We'll probably head north around 9 this morning and be back home late Sunday night.
We have our stall in the group of tents on the mill side of the creek. Depression glass wind chimes are what my wife sells. Take your ladies to the craft fair and stop by and say "Hi".

Sorry Wally, if I didn't have plans I'd swing by that way. Headed out to Ardmore, OK to visit in-laws for a few days after the show.

Morning everybody...I'd forgotten about what's like to have two days off back to back. Think I'm going to wash the Pavement Princess today, poor thing hasn't had a bath since June...two days before I hit the buck. Shame on me.

I'll be the first to admit that when I get on a scooter I want to hit the key & go. Guess that's why I like the EFI on my rice grinder. Don't get me wrong, I have no issue with the PM and washing the stupid thing from time to time (I'll never own another black one). I've heard horror stories of older HD leaking oil and rather cold natured when they were manual choke equipped. I've got a 351C that's cold natured & has a manual choke....

Well, I don't work Saturdays....sort of. According to the bid schedule I don't work Tuesday, Wednesday & Saturday. But because the run I bid goes on duty at 1900 and is pretty much a 12 hour run...I end up working into my days off except Wednesday. Oh well, it beats the extra board in that I know when I'm going to work. The sitting around waiting for the phone to ring gets old when your sitting there by your self.

I sort of get close to War Eagle in my travels to/from work when I roll through Fayetteville. But then that's not saying allot when you consider WE is something like 25-30 miles East of Fayetteville (I think).

I though anyone from that part of Okieland is an outlaw. But that could just be my confusion after dealing with folks from Ada, McAlster & the great OKC metro.

Well, made it home, had my shower and getting ready for some shuteye. We had our best weekend ever saleswise and it was a blast.
The truck pulled the camper to War Eagle with no problems and I thought I was gonna be the oldest rig there again. Til I saw some guy from Mo with a '51 F1 pulling a 4x8 homebuilt teardrop. Trailer had a For Sale sign, and when I stopped to check it out, he wanted $4800. Nice trailer, but not $4800 worth(at least not to me).

Man this thread has been quite for the last couple of days. Sad part is some guy from 'Jersey has been keeping it alive. We love you Steve, just not in the long showers into the wee hours of the morning type of love. I have to admit this new schedule at work is different, but my wife seems to be happy with it. So I don't complain. Guess Jeff is still on the road in Okieland...poor guy. Everyone else must be working on their Halloween customs. I think I'm going to dress up as a large volume cargo relocation specialist.
