Default Another weird thing i do....

While I'm on the subject of weird things I do with my Harley - I also have got into the habit of taking the long way home from work just so I can enjoy the pleasure of riding her a little bit longer.
Don't do it on the way to work though as it would make me late. But I do do it on the way home as it doesn't matter if it takes a little longer to get home than by the shortest route.

i was taking a break at a scenic outlook on my ride today when another harley pulled up.. The rider dismounted the bike, took a few steps back, laid on the ground, snapped a pic, and proceeded to ride off...

I didn't think of that. I would have to put them on another switch so I could turn them out. People would be talking about how weird "he is".

I've always ordered parts/accessories and never put them on.
Usually, when I trade, I have a bunch of 'stuff' to sell on eBay.
Sometimes I think I'd like a different exhaust, tuner, A/C kit, grips,
chrome wheels or something. They are delivered, but I never install them.
Let's see, what can I go order.....................

My latest bike was delivered on the back of a flat bed in the middle of a snowstorm in December...at night.
I couldn't even start it until mid-April.
I would go out many times over the course of the winter and sit on it, freezing my nuts off, dreaming of how it would sound, how it would feel, to take it for a ride...

Objectively, all of the previous posts [I]are[I] kinda weird, in a 'normal' sense, but if you haven't lived it, you don't 'know'

Here's to ALL the weird **** we do!
Cheers!

Is that weird?
Pretty normal in my book

How bout I just give you my address and you can ship your orders to me. That way they don't clutter up your garage LOL.

When I go to the va, I try to take a different route home every time I can. I missed a bridge one time and had to go about 60 miles to the next bridge in order to cross the Red River to get home--- oh well, it was a nice day.
