None of my vehicles are stock. Majority of the population is content with what the get. I want what I want. If I have to do more to make that happen then I do. Life would be easier with a TV Guide and a maid. Easier isn't us or we wouldn't spend our money and time on any of these vehicles. The sedate and safe Volvo and Ellen are waiting for the ones who want safe and easy.
You know I have not bought motorcycle parts in a long time......not sure if I like this or not.
I have 270 bucks in tires for this bike now and still need to install them and I know that it should have fluids changed so that I have a starting point for future service. Then its all the add on and hop up that you know I won't be able to resist...then it will be more tires and then more service.
I do have some project cars of my own and would sure like see them on the road and on the track.
I have a .030 over 400 small block that I started building and collecting parts for since 1986 or 87.
The engine has been bored ,honed ,decked with plugs in the deck ,4 bolt splayed caps and a balanced rotating assembly....but I think I will get another crank. Makes me think motorcycle moneys could get this one closer.
Guess I need to talk myself into liking the idea of riding again.

Tell ya what. If you have the bike when me n Vicki ride down to Lake of the Ozarks ill bring you a shirt from Frontier HD in Linc. But ya gotta go ride with me for a few milesNo but my brother bought me a T shirt.
I thought the deal was to ride the all the HD dealers and buy a T and the parts you need to get home.
Well I am going to give it the Ol boy scout try.
Hope this bike is up to par..and if so you may see me on the road.
If I get it done soon enough I could be bike week bound.

I am on the same page. Got the Honda out last fall. Started and let it run for a while to warm up. Never left the garage the season before. Sold the Gold Wing a couple years back. Just have the cruiser left. I don't feel safe on the road like I used to. Crazy drivers and deer. I prefer to ride the right side near the shoulder. Its amazing how many cars can pull along side and want to share the lane. Where the &%$@# did they learn this ??????
When I was 15 I rebuilt the engine in a 58 MGA. ( my first ride ) Sanded the body, took out the dents, took it to a body shop. Had it repainted bright red ( $35.00 ) took it home and assembled remaining parts. First drive with my dad as copilot driving into town we met a 55 Oldsmobile. Still remember the huge grille driving towards us. As it neared a giant flipper hubcap came off rolling down the center of the highway. As it came close to my door a quick swerve prevented a collision. It appeared as high as the door on my MG. That is when I decided I needed a larger set of wheels. Sold the MG to a returning service man and bought a 57 Chevrolet two door hardtop. My luck never changed as it had a defunct engine also . The price reflected this condition. Loved the 57 !
I know that riding now will be different.
Living close to a collage town one is always dealing with people that don't know where they are or going.
Guess one needs to pick his route well.
I have no intentions of going the "brand rider"..... just a rider as of the past.

I never leave home without tools. I've spent much more time wrenching on other people's bikes than on my own. Back before FI I don't know how many times I unhooked my gas line, found an empty beer can, and donated gas to someone.

Agent here's a V Rod for you.
That bike is worthless. No place to put the beer when you go to the hill climbs.
Fiberglass bags on my Road King, add a case of beer, and top off with a bag of ice. Makes a nice frost line about 3/4ths to the top, but the ice melts kinda fast on top of the pipe and all.

Not sure how much beer one would want riding something like this.
My guess its mostly looks.

I would have to move the controls back then maybe one of those V@H pro stock engines.

Wide tires and side pipes, ............ a recipe for cool cruising. Also eliminates a side stand. Quite the aggressive stance.
Just hang on when you go through the 1/4!!!!
