TOAK, The Thread of All Knowledge Part XIII
Again, .500 is the stuff Hall of Famers are made of.
I went through a number of different shocks Mick. My Ultra had the air shocks and it was okay enough that I left it alone and lived with it. Then I got the Street Glide. I thought the "Premium hand adjustable" shocks were an improvement. But I bought the bike in Arkansas where the roads are billiard table smooth. By the time I got to St Louis I realized that they weren't so great. By the time I got to Milwaukee I hated them. Very harsh no matter what the setting. Then I fell victim to the siren's (AKA Howard) song of Ohlins. Better but still shitty. Sold those and bought some Progressive 444 HDs after riding a friends bike that had them. Much better. Still not great. Ultimately it's why I moved away from HD for the time being. Our Midwest roads are terrible and the HD suspension just isn't up to it. At least the shocks I tried. I've been hearing the 14 inch Supershox are great. But I think I'll just move to an area with smoother roads.

Lions have lower standards ... much lower
Not sold yet. We're in first rounds of negotiation. She'd only want me to have some place to store her stuff. Had another young guy contact me about selling, gave him all info on it . He said he'd get back to me in a couple days which he did. He gave me his offer. i told him " Well, you're in the ballpark. Unfortunately, that was the ballpark ten years ago when we considered selling then. The new ballpark is almost double that. I can't blame you for trying but thanks for playing"....:

Correct and frankly I should have used the qualifier 'professional sports HOF' so as to not confuse Lions fans.

Morning, morning Woods and HOFers. My attempt at hanky-lanky was not well received early this morning.
