I saw that and you were the eighth person I thought of. Naw, you were the first one I thought of. That's imported all the way from Champaign, IL.

It took so long to get it to you because I had it on my dresser and used it to start the day off right.

I'd suggest you check my pockets before I leave your house whenever I come down to help you build the scooter. I ended up with a nice collection of silver from Howies. Soft really soft towels from your house, and maybe some silk sheets, and spare harley parts....HEY..I'll be set. Should I go ahead and check local motel rates now?

Pinkie has nixed that idea. I'm sitting over here in the warm house, trying to be the tough guy waiting for you to say it's too cold so I could give you some crap.

But I think I'll pass for today, I'm not that much of a bad a$$ biker.

I was thinking I would see ome parts on Friday, but didn't get the call. This week for sure. The owner is real picky which is a good thing, so its probably just taking a bit longer than anticipated.

Shhhhhh. He doesn't know it yet but I'm going to look for a possible four day weekend in the spring and then convince him he needs Traxxion so we have an excuse to ride down.

I HEARD THAT!!!!!!!!

I would love to get some Traxxion in the spring. Trouble is I have to put a new roof on in the spring (the wife did not like all the natural skylights that were added by falling limbs from the ice storm we had in December). We'll see if there is any money left over after that.

Dammit, he WAS listening

Screw in the insurance company on the roof work and apply the largesse to the Traxxion Dynamics work! (see, I've always got a plan)

Good plan, except Allstate only wants to pay for the side of the roof that has holes in it. The other half is on my tab. A new roof for half price is not a bad deal, just an unplanned for expense. Besides I can't decide if I should get the Traxxion to make the ride better, or a set of hard bags to make it look nicer sitting still....hum...

Holy Crap! Happy Birthday Chief!

We bought our house, after getting four hours house hunting leave, about four years ago. It was a 20+ year old house, so we knew going in that there would be some things we would have to fix or replace while we lived here. Man - Oh Man! Knowing it and paying for it are not the same thing. haa haa!

In 2006 - end of - we made the decision that instead of tackling the repair of cedar siding to go ahead and have the whole house and garage covered with vinyl siding instead. It looks fantastic. But don't you know before the workers showed up to start the work - one of our heat pumps quite working. And you know the story, if you are going to replace one - go ahead and replace both ..... so while the siding we went in to with our eyes wide open adding the other expense at the same time was so not in the plans. And the roof will have to be done at some point in the next three years ...... So buddy, we understand about the choices of house repairs? Or Bike add ons?
The house will almost always win when those questions come up.

We keep telling ourselves we will recoup most of the expenses when we sell the house. Course we all know that is not true of the bike additions.

Good luck with new roof and the traxxion addition when ever that gets added to the list.

I know what you mean Candy. If it weren't for those lazy kids living upstairs I would just let it go and spend all my money on the bike. But they whine very loudly (worse than the wife's sporty) when they wake up with snow on their blankets. I have spoiled them...
