Very nice Chris, I know you can hardly wait to start breaking her in.

Congrats Chris! She's a beauty.

Oh I think he won't mess with the forks on this one. Unless you meant something else...

I’m not going to touch this conversation , other than to say congratulations on the new wheels Chris. Nothing like starting with a clean slate. You get to take care of it just the way you choose.

Bob, if/when I do front shocks, tmmy mechanic AJ (HD Certified) will do it, nit the other guy. He fixed the front and it was fine, after I scared the hell out of myself.

Anywhoz, I'm pretty excited. The cam has a nice lope to it that makes the exhaust sound different than the other bikes. I guess that's how Russ feels, after all, it is a CVO engine.

As far as my body is concerned, i am getting better each day, i really am. Pain is less and less, until the night hits then the pain comes. But throughout the day, I'm getting by. I can't tell you how hard it was to not try to stand and get on the bike. I'd live to regret it though.

At this point, it's just bones. I'll walk soon enough. I just need to be patient.

Just finished mowing lawn. Could use a nice cold one right now......
Had lunch with some old co-workers today. Waitress was cleaning up empty plates and accidently hit the glasses and spilt water all over. Yup....right into my lap!! She was very apologetic.... but I didn't get any discounts!! Accidents happen.....
