Reaching deep into my pockets.......



I pulled out enough money to purchase this pair of LED "Headlights". Yes, that's right, I carry that kind of money on my person. $1.00 and got some change back (a penny). Of course, I had to spend that penny and 798 more for shipping from Hong Kong.

If these things are bright enough, I may use them for headlights on the Sporty. If not, then maybe turn signals or somethin'.

Back in the saddle...


HDNet series "Twist the Throttle"...on their preview, a guy says "riding a motorcycle may be the most enjoyable thing you ever do." Well, perhaps he has never had sex. I would rate riding a motorcycle somewhere below that, but riding a motorcycle is VERY enjoyable.

Well, the fuel leaks appear to be under control thanks to JB Weld and I wired the charging system to the correct side of the switch. Iguess I just have to ride now..

Bamboo Floors for the bedrooms....



See, I'm not 100% 1 dimensional. Natti and I tore up the carpet and put down some Bamboo hardwood floors in the bedrooms. These pics are from Janice's room. The second pic shows the incredible detail work on the baseboard in the closet. BTW, we put the closet doors back on after the pics were taken.

OOPS!!



I forgot that the fender, freshly back from pin striping, was sitting on the tire. I rolled the bike back and the fender fell off and got run over. I'm just a little bit pissed!!!
