Posers' Coffee House, All Bullshit Accepted, Part VI
Hmmmm, gonna hafta build a bigger bike, maybe Ken can help ya.
Year or so ago, I was in owner's office at Harley dealer, talking about how few people actually pay cash for a bike. He's telling me how often people will come in and say " I want a Harley and I can afford X Dollars a month, what can I get". A little while later , the salesman comes in with a credit app on a kid who wants a StreetBob...he runs the app and the kid is APPROVED for a loan...at 21% !!!!!
Nah...he won't put a stereo or a 12V outlet for heated gear on it. Probably won't even paint it yeller, either.
...that's almost Unamerican .....now it's just.......

Heat wave broke, house is in the 60's this morning, feels good. I'm outta sync with most of you guys, buncha early birds, but I sure ain't.
If ya read back... otherwise I'm writin to meself...
Harley handlebars and titty grips for the Ural are about as close to bling as I get...
Some good utube videos on about everything Harley. Sure easier than cars, the newer ones anyway. My first engine rebuild was a 283 in a '67 Impala. No book, no experience below the carb, barely enough tools. It ran pretty decent after.
I watched some guys put a gearbox on a 757 engine once, hadn't done it before, didn't know where or what special tools to use, so made do with a steel pipe and a couple two by fours to lever it into position. Thought it sure was a good thing 757's have two engines... unless those guys put a gearbox on the other one, too... Of course, the FAA makes sure airlines are safe...
Don't care for Phoenix or Tuscon traffic, but miss riding the rest of the state.
That dirt road part winding along the edge of the cliffs is one of the most extreme roads I've ever been on. Awesome. Some of the rusted cars at the bottom of those cliffs were real antiques...

Fear is the biggest factor. I wish that I had someone to show me once. That is all that I would need is to see it once.
I am sure that you can do it if you can do a car. Same principals apply.

Temps down, humadity not so bad, mebbe if the little guy (here again) lets me, I could get back to the sidecar today. He's too small for a mask or I'd let him blast a little.

I need to count my blessings, she only got c/support.....I kept my pension,no alimony......
as for the pain waking up was tough, rolling over even worse. But the pain has eased a bit from this morning.....really think I just got use to it. Pain is off to the right , above the back of the pelvis.so I doubt it's a slipped disc.......I've had this pain before 'bout the 5th mebbe 6th time in my life anyways. Heard it was one of the curses left over in our DNA from walking upright......who knows.

If I ever think about selling the old EVO, all I gotta do is look at new ones to decide it's a keeper. They're prettier, kind of like younger wimen are prettier, but are they worth the money?
