Had a small informal wedding today. PV and "Leah" got married. A mail order "groom" sort of thing. We'll see how the "honeymoon" goes!

left my money and cards home by accident this morning. on the way home, i got the fuel light. 20mi later i was home on fumes. went in for a minute and came back out to go get gas (after dumping in some of the lawn mowers private stash). didn't have earbud or plugs... man... i got punished!

those pipes are violently obnoxious, seriously. i understand why cars stay away from me.... it's ungodly noise. i never really rode like that with out plugs or buds. lord!

great! lol


i'mmna go get a go... pro so you all can hear this insanity... how are these things even street legal?

That's my one reservation when/if I'm able to upgrade my exhaust. I do love the look of them though.

My ratchet style, 1/4" and 3/8" drive "socket"-type Torx bits, are from Lowe's (Kobalt). That set includes a #27 Torx, which is not included in my old Craftsman set. The #27 Torx-head fasteners are often mistaken for #25. The #25 will fit a #27, but it's actually too small.
For tight spaces, these German-made Torx keys, Wiha, are about the best I've found:

They look like a good size and now you've got me wondering if I was using a 25 although it worked on the first. The angle I was able to get at it was wrong, or not perfect, so I think that's where I got into trouble. The German set is a great size and would have gotten in the place nicely. I'm going to look into both.

Thanks.

Installed my chopped rear fender LED light. Pretty easy install except I had to jack up the bike and undo the rear shocks so could install the wire clips inside the fender. Pretty happy with it.
