    I think my bike would like to get rejetted, and a suicide clutch, well maybe the clutch is for me!

    lol, funny how the mental telepathy is working - Fa is hoping for a change of address to somewhere that never sees winter. Personally, I need a bit of snow (for doing donuts in the momivan), but you asked for the bike's wish here, not mine. And maybe something to hook a GPS to. Fa knows me pretty well. heh.

    Was going say "a set of brackets so that I can put my luggage aft of the seat & have the seat available against the possibility Little Mother elects to go with me" but razncain and Tweek put things in perspective.
    The only thing that stands between me & the brackets is that I am a cheap sonofa b;' too cheap to buy them, can't weld & no welding equipment anyway. - Am hell'uva fortunate - Hope you all get your wishes

    Dear Santa,
    Skye (my bike) asked me to write this letter to you. She'd LOVE to have some driving lights to add to the front and some extra tail/brake lights for the rear. Here in sunny Florida, when the sun is down and them old foggies are out on the roads, its kinda nice to have some extra candlepower for the silver hairs to be able to spot me.
    Thanks Santa
    ~s~ Skye

    PS: A few roads with hills and curves would be nice too.

    I could use a new bag to take trips with. Anyone use the Saddleman fastback? I'm looking at the large one. This is my first (virgin) post. Just when I didn't think I could be a virgin at anything! I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas.

    Wow that looks great buddy,  Im going to order the same pipes and air cleaner but in black. I hope the weather gets better so you can get out there and ride. I'll see ya some time at cooks corner or maybe hells kitchen. I live just down the hiway an hour or so in Escondido.

    Thanks...  I was pretty impressed with the truck and the lift as well.  Here is a better photo of the truck and bike delivery system.

    As far as the bike goes, I keep going out to the garage and just looking at her, shining her up, and starting her up.  Those new pipes are sweeeeeeet!  

    This is probably the worst rain storm in 100 years.  They promise there will be only ONE more day of rain.  Then I'm riding, and Riding, and RIDING!

    At least it ain't snow.  God I hate snow (after living in ND and MN for 24 freaking years).  

    I hope your bikes get what they want for Christmas!

    A new more comfy seat would be most excellent.

    my seat is truly ugly, but it is comfy!  I think my bike would like a bath.
