I had to get some new chromed allen head bolts last year, wanted chrome, thought they'd be cheaper at Ace Hardware. Nope, dealer was cheaper. Ace said theirs are American made, Harley... who knows. I bought the Harley ones, didn't need grade 8 anyway.

Sounds kinda early for a southy state. Ain't the temps here, it's whenever they pour the salt. I'll ride below freezing if the roads haven't been salted yet.
Short rides...

Not like that in Canada...yet.
I asked there Mom first. We were gone for only a few minutes.

Cheapest trip to the dealer ever!!

what a bunch of ****ing posers.
please continue to pretend to be bikers.
Judging from the replies, the mods don't have to worry about this; donations are voluntary, and I don't see any scamming going on here. Shame she got hurt.
