- October 17, 2012, 10:36:02 AMI ride with a group called the Desert Dawgs. We are about 40 strong with every bike above 600cc excepted to ride with us. The bike has already been stripped down and just waiting for J&P Cycles to deliver all the new parts. It should be rid-able within two weeks, to bad the bone Doc said it will be six to twelve months before I'll be able to ride.

- October 17, 2012, 10:09:18 AMHere are a couple of pictures of my 2001, 1500 before I had to lay her down two weeks ago. I had a cager cut me off and try to do a right hand turn from the left lane while I was in the right side lane about 15 feet behind him. For about a second or so I thought I was going to t-bone him at 30mph. But as I hit the brakes my ass end slide out from under me and the bike started to slide on it's right side. The tires caught on a large crack in the asphalt and high sided me and threw me off the left side of the bike. The lady at the gas pump that witnessed the whole thing side I missed the rear of the cage by about two feet. She said as soon as I went airborne, I curled up in a ball. (thank god for 10 years of jumping out of airplanes when I was in the Army) Did one complete flip in the air and landed on my right shoulder. (Shattering my shoulder) Then I finished with two more asphalt rolls covering about twenty feet, rolled up onto my feet and walked back and started checking out my bike. Once all the adrenaline was gone I sat down by a light pole and asked her to call 911 cause me right arm was killing me.
The front highway/road guard and the apes saved my bike. They absorbed all the damage other then scratching the chrome on my floorboards, passenger pegs and muffler.
I know for a fact I will never own a bike in the future that doesn't have highway/road guard on it. It saved my bike from being totaled.

ok pcarrell seeing as this is your thread I'll not feel like I am hijacking it. As I said before we are even on the bikes, and you have me on the SO issue. Seeing as I am tone deaf and my hearing is going due to my work enviroment playing guitar is not on my list of things to do. Mind I am working with a band part time as a driver and roadie, couple of guys from work ( another story), anyway my other big passion after my bike is a hooby I have been involved with since I was about 8 years old and have been doing since. But being in the military for over 40 years it is hard to maintain the quality of the hobby. So when I retired here I decided it was time I was never moving again other in a pine box. So I indulged into my hobby.
First pic is my 110 gal diamond Corner tank, with 5 Blood parrots, they are all about 6 years old now and huge.
Second is my 150 gal Burundi Frontosa tank the fish are from Lake Tanganyika in Africa, you can see the alpha male in the lower right side he is 14" long and over 1.5 lbs, and he likes to breed.....
so that is my other hobby.....

- October 08, 2012, 15:36:59 PMSaw a 1945 truck this weekend out for the final drive of the summer he said. It was not a local truck , I am sure he trailered it here for some reason, anyway, the paint job was awesome and were was my camera...at home. The guy told me it was from House of Colours, and called Burnt Orange, and he had used the same paint but in a flat or something like that for the ghost flames in it. He then said it had 5 coats of clear over top to get the shine into it, and a coupl of coats of wax. That was one awesome paint job to be sure.

- October 08, 2012, 14:14:19 PMCool thing is, they sell all the chopper parts in black too. You could keep your blacked out bike blacked out, and chop the snot out of it at the same time! Then paint it red, of course!
