Oh Yeah, he has it ALL! 

[JCZ]

JCZ I'm not so sure on chrome calipers     I'm liking the black calipers and suit the rims IMO

Digitals are a must - JCZ's mod pages are calling me. 

Bummer on the weather Wheels, not like the modfather above who's living the dream in CA

It's been unseasonably cold here.......low of 30 and highs in the mid 40s.  But we've still been getting a little riding in.  I think of you guys and all of a sudden it's not so cold.

I don't know about living the dream.......I'm wondering if I'm going to be joining the ranks of the unemployed again, in the next few months.

[lastdegree]

As tough as it's been in the UK and will probably be for a further 12 months at least, there's not as many redundancy stories as you guy's have had in the US.

Sitting here typing wishes of replacement parts for what are already good parts brings home a reality of how lucky we are.  There's many who wish for a bike let alone to mod one. 


JCZ, Let's hope not.    Wheels, Wish you well finding a new role. 

Onward and upwards 

[Wheelsnkeels]

Being unemployed sure gives you more riding time 
Wish I lived in Florida, Arizona or California? Even Belize or Costa Rica might be allright as well?

Alas poor Yorick

Timing not withstanding mine is my own fault I sold my business in 2006 looking to start a new motorsports venture. Just as it was about to get started the Obama hit the fan 

My 5 year non compete is coming to a close and I'll start up where I left off hopefully. In the mean time I've been wholesaling watercraft and motorcycles for cash but thats been pretty thin the last 2 years. All in all I'm more fortunate than many so stiff upper lip and all that 

JCZ wish you well in that regard! Certainly hope the economy is actually turning around?

I love blackadder. Reminds me of when I was younger when my dad and I used to watch it Thursday evenings when the old lady went out on the town with her pals.   

Nice to hear it's not all bad.  Just gotta love non-compete's.  God bless America for that contract.  Still love a bit of cash dealing.  Really miss the interaction of selling something with an engine. 

I've sort of left the CVO in the back of my mind for the moment.  6 inches of snow here is like 8 feet anywhere else. 

Trying to talk myself into an Audi R8 which my good lady is warming to.   

Cheers,

[Wheelsnkeels]

Now your talking I really have been considering the Audi and they are a little less conspicuous to the jealousy crowd. (Employees)
The great unwashed and uninformed masses are less aware of them.

Always get the  from Car & Driver

Still hard to beat the 4matic S Class in the winter but that may be one to do it?

[lastdegree]

Looks like it's a no go.  A bit too tight for me at 6'5" and before you say it there's more than 5" elsewhere. 

Main issue aside, there's just no space for nothing.  Not my best choice of everyday car.  Will have to re-think.

Still love my merc's.   Fancied one of the C63 until I sat inside.  Great engine - pants interior especially for the money.

[Wheelsnkeels]

next ride probably the plain old Mercedes S550 4matic  

(although there was a nice CLS 600 AMG in the local trader today reasonably priced just not a great snow machine)
One advantage to being 5'9" is they all "Fit"

[lastdegree]

Here you go.  Out of the blue, well not really as I've been looking for one for 10 yrs I found a 1996 Porsche Turbo 993 version.  Must have felt right 'cause I pulled the trigger after many hours asking, talking to the dealer - a porsche OPC dealer at that.  Imagine a 1996 car with 60k fully warranted and approved by porsche and 4wd!   

I've hijacked my own thread for which I apologies.  I do however, have news to share tomorrow in that my corbin passenger back rest arrived to replace the std CVO item and looks mighty cool and useful too

Cheers

 

[Wheelsnkeels]

Very nice on both counts - Enjoy

[lastdegree]

Having just spent again on another toy the decision has been made to re-locate the bike to our home in Spain.  This way I get to use the porker when it's dry and the bike will get more ride time all year round. 

I may be hanging-up my modding plans for while - although sad for some, my wallet is smiling and it's been fun, lots of fun.

Cheers

Love the bars.  Looks like Yaffe monkey bars.  What size please?

[Aussie]

Painted fairing inner, no brainer looks great.

[Montanakid]

Hey last degree, are those 10 or 12" Yaffee Monkey bars? And what, if any cables did you need to get longer ? I also have the spiced rum and you have done allready what I'm planner for this winter. Just was hoping to see what they'd look like and lo and behold you have it. Are the headwinds lights bright? Thanks.

[skboy]

Sick scoot yo! where did you get a hold of the 8" monkey bars? thanks
