The little devil was really moving fast, out there in the middle of the street...I didn't think they could run....I'm getting to like the bags, too. I had them stuffed full last weekend with my trip to MadTown, and they really look nice when they are not sagging. My inside framework will fix that little issue. I've seen some that are worse than these, and some that are better, so I know what to expect. I'm going to find some black liquid shoe polish to fix up the minor scratches in the finish, or perhaps I'll dye them chocolate brown, since they are real leather, and can be dyed....decisions, decisions....

  Dude look at the fur coat on that rascal, it is going to be a cold winter.

I really think that the bags added a lot to your ride makes it look really vintage. Looks really nice.

Once it's in, I will be jacking it up, taking off the wheels and there she will stay until it's warm enough to put back together without getting frost bite...This is why I have to decide in advance, pick a day and just do it, while it's still warm enough outside to make it happen..however, it's not in now, so I went out for a little cruise along the river. Here's a few pictures, just to prove it happened!

  Troll at least you can just scoot in and out of the garage far easier then I can from the living room. Coolant is still good, hope for a warm day so I can at least give it a oil change and a good washing before I move it inside. Next seven days the highs are in the low fifties and drop to the 30's.........need to purchase a set of elephant ears over the winter but even those do not really help with these temps, this chart might be of help....

Car is ready...changed the oil to 5-30...soon it's going to be my main mode of transportation. Bikes will be ready soon, Changed the coolant in the Drifter this Spring, so I have at least another year. 2 battery tenders ready to go...now all I need to do is pick a date before the snow and sub zero cold arrive. Supposed to be in the low 60s all week, so not just yet...but soon.

 :)  winterizing is a must, at 0600 when I go to work and the roads are covered with a film of frost, and you can feel the bike sliding under it is not a fun feeling, and the frost does not come out till about 0830 so not a good thing to ride to work, and forecast for this morning is snow flurries.........yipeeeeeeeeee

Hahahaaha yanks i miss that term. Growing up in mo you hear allot of it. I don't know what this mysterious winterizing disease is but it seems to be more contagious than ebola

 PC your right about it almost the uniform is just cloth, it is the respect the honour and pride that is in the heart.

Hey KA, good looking family! My only child just turned 18 today. I'd give anything to have another 5 to 10 years of her growing up to look forward to.  It seems like yesterday she was only 4 or 5 and needed my wife and I for everything.
I was planning a fishing trip to Arkansas through Veterans Day, but may jump on the bike and ride up to the Arkansas Pig Trail and their Baby Dragon Tail instead.
What is this "Wintering" thing you Yanks are talking of? Lol.
