After much advice/pressure from Western CVO members I picked up a few necessities from Jim for the trip to Pala.
Helmets, Bluetooth, Tool kit, Garmin 665 GPS/XM, Amp/Speakers, Rewired Stereo, Kuryakin Lights, New Bulbs, found a yellow hot tub, and a Corbin Backrest.
Took a day longer to get the lockset than the 10 days to get the tub.

The main reason I bought a Screamin was so I could ride California style in my flip flops and look cool for once in my life, now Ernie and JC want me to wear some kind of
T.J. Hooker footwear, that will make me ride like Evil Knievel. The swat boots weigh about the same as flip flops so may have to give it thought. If you can clean off gum and dog s#!t with a stick and a quick drag on the edge of the curb they could be useful!

Saw a few others over the last few weeks at the Metal Dragon getting final things done and captured a couple of them that were going to meet up at Fremont's HD, no wait was that Peninsula, San Jose, Livermore, Lathrop, Modesto, Stockton, Hayward Honda. I can't remember if they ever decided and if they did decide it could have gotten changed.
It's always good to see Jim, and he's a workhorse lately with a busy schedule. He's keepin Joe torquing away.
Jim can hold a great conversation while installing the electronics, and it's amazing that it doesn't seem to slow him down. As fast and precise as he moves through the processes you can tell he's done a few of these. He's got all the right tools as well, which he needed to shape the aluminum GPS bracket to a custom fit around the handle bar. Thanks for modifying the fuse connection for the heated seat, eliminating the loose connection. Lots cleaner too.
Jim, I understand a private business owner has priorities with his customers, and you currently have a large work load, but we wanted you to ride with us in case we have mechanical problems too! As to bill collectors, "Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead". As to your wife, "Damn the steam, full torpedo ahead".
I will bring you and Joe a Togo's when I get back.
