As for what I've been doing with the bike lately.......I plugged in the battery tender the other day. New tires will have to wait until after Christmas as funds are tied up in that right now.

(disclaimer... I am looking at a shovelhead kicker at the moment... should have my head examined!)
My old shovel had a nasty habit once in a while of engaging the kicker gear, then it would "slip off" the gear; came down on the kicker, it caught, then slipped off, came down and caught the battery box on the inside of the knee. NOT considered to be fun. Had a bruise a foot long on the inside of my knee. Electric start rules......

Troll you need to go to IKEA and get one of them tractor seats with wheels on the bottom of it like mine they are cool to roll around on.....

- December 18, 2013, 10:01:57 AMOK, so I should have turned around on the stairs and looked where I was going. I get that...But don't tell me you've never done gone backwards down a step or two...Seems to be healing up ok. Yesterday I needed a stick for support, today, if I take it slow, I can walk. I AM GOING OUT TO THE GARAGE THIS AFTERNOON! Supposed to get to 37, I definitely want to assemble the seat and bags. I'm pretty happy about the diet results, too. My blood glucose was 90, so maybe I will out live all of you...as only the good die young!

- December 18, 2013, 08:22:17 AMBack in the old days when 600 or 650 was a big bike and getting 100 mph was considered the ultimate road speed, probably about 1966 I rode a Matchless G11 600 cc bike, While kick starting it one morning it backfired and the kickback hit me under the arch of my foot. The pain was intense and didn't ease off so I went to the doctor, he didn't bother with an X ray but told me it wasn't broken and had the nurse bandage it, the bandage was so loosely wrapped that it came off that night, It was some time before I could bring myself to kick that bike over again, but it never caught me again..
I love electric starters..
John.
