My bad got the number wrong. One of my friends was on the Bonhomme Richard. He flew back early from Hawaii, so I got to see him a little earlier then when you got back. I am sure you are glad to be back. I was on the 24th Meu in 06 and I hated every moment of it, being embarked you get no love from the Navy.

By the way the Cycle Visions hardbag are pretty sweet. I was there a few weeks ago getting my rims laced up and they had a softail with hardbags on it, looked pretty good IMO.

 

i was on the bhr as well. nuff said.

 

DB - those mirrors look sweet man, why are they so cheap???? I could see some on my ride, may mount them vertically though.

Phrog, good to have you back man, thanks for all youve done for our Country.

 

dang Dave long time....dont know why there so cheap but the quality is damn good better then the 100 dollar ones......how ya been??

 

what happened to the no.carolina ride twisted? I know the dragon is still f'ed up but that ain't the only road up there.

 

yea guys, been a lil bit. Had some **** come up recently that has needed my direct attention. The 2 guys I had rooming at my house, that Ive known since 1st grade just told me they were moving out in the summer. I was hoping they would hang till my girl graduates and can start teaching, then everything would be fine. Considering their rent together is roughly a grand, Ive got some making up to do. Kickin up the hours at work, having to cut back the number of classes I can take, sellin some ****, and lookin for new roommates for the time being. Couldnt have come at a worse time really. But, my dumb *** is the one that didnt make them sign anything, wont make that mistake again. Its gona be ok though, Im a seriously optimistic guy and will get this all figured out. When life gives you lemons, put em in a tube sock and beat some ***.

G - Man I really hope to be able to to something as it gets warmer. As it is, I ride to class, or anywhere possible just to get out by myself and not have to listen to **** but the wind. Ill let you know ASAP if I can arrange the funds and time to be able to meet you somewhere up there, Id love yo meet up with you and burn some miles.

 

I hope the best for ya.....your a smart cat youll get it all figured out....

 

What's up guys?!

Got the new rubber on the back wheel this morning and while they had the wheel off I finally had the "Polished Stainless Steel Rear Fender Extension" (HD P/N: 60197-08) installed.

This thing is bright and shiny... thinking I should have PC'd it black. But it sure does brighten up the swing arm allowing a lot of light to reflect inside. Really cleans things up too. You can see the entire tire and it lets you see straight through the swing arm.

Here's some pics I took with my iPhone:

 

one of my favorite parts i put on the bike and its only 40 bucks....lol.....i like the fact that you can see the tire and not plastic.....

 

Hey Phrog...Welcome back and Thanks for your service!
I have a black leather roll bag from "T-bags" that mounts to the handlebars and sits on top of the headlight, it looks like an old school bedroll, and I get lots of comps on it, I'll post up some pics when I get a chance
