    Interesting machinery Hotroadking! I love how inventive people can get when stuck in a long Winter. My StreetGlide will have to suffice for the road trip up north, as long as there's no snow.

    Went for a ride on the Springer and got dumped on. Had taken the windshield off and the hail pellets sure did sting. Got back home, cleaned the Springer then spent the rest of the afternoon working on the Ultra. This weather sucks. :mad:

    That bike is too pretty to get dirty....and I'll bet it took a long time to polish up.

    Polished it all up last night and then took it out on a chapter ride today. Man it was cold, I thought it was going to snow. I went and left my heated gear at home to. :mad:

    Well, it's 6:30am Sunday and getting time to hit the road to meet the boys for a ride. We're going to plan our trip to "Americade" in Lake George, NY in early June, then from there on to "Laconia Bike Week" in NH. It's been in the high 60's-low 70's all week (in between the rainy days) and this morning it's freakin 42F! I thought I was done with all the cold weather gear. It's hard going backwards this time of year. Gotta pull out the pig tail from the battery again so I can plug myself into the toaster clothes.
    JB, I couldn't survive up there in the cold north!

    Going to be 73 here today, planning on riding again. Will plug in the heated gear until it warms up. :)

    Well today was the nicest day that we have had all season and I had to spend most of it doing the honey do stuff.:banghead::wtf: and help my mom buy a car. finally after all of that sidetrack crap was done, Hot Rider, a buddy of mine (06 Heritage) and myself went for a ride through the twisties. HR was able to keep up really well, we had the bikes going around 100 mph :D. Man I like that, and I have decided that I am going to order the BCT baffles. Bike isn't loud enough for me. We only went for a short ride about 50 miles, but we were cooken.

    Now the hard thing to decide is do I want to ride the bike or the truck???

    Are they the kind where you ride down the road and swerve between the stripes on the road to make your own curves. :D:roflmao:
