"wow you did not put EVERY penny into your bike... she was very pleased... and is already planning out her V-rod, which i was informed is to be my wedding present to her... she did test drive one so she is ready and willing... we had a blast! my brohter even bought a new bike! i went to meet Ralph at Naples HD (Sales Mgr) to say hi... and somehow my brother walked out with a sick chopper... Great guys up there, nice people, he is a gear head, even offered to show us around and meet up to cruise at night and that was BEFORE he found out we hwere going to buy a bike... the ride to Key west was AWESOME! 7 mile bridge rocks... this makes 6 years in a row we have done this trip... started out with just my dad me and brother... now there is 8 of us and we already have 10 signed up for next year... i have to figure out how i am going to work that in wiht a hunnymoon... we will see.... as you can see i did toss on a front fender... it is off a fat bob... took a bit of work but got it to work (I will put a sep post on that) thanks BOSTONFATBOB... all in all it was great.. you can see i ride with a mix of bikes... if you are an only HD kind of guy then sorry i am the kind of guy that just loves to ride... i went though about 15 bikes before i could afford my HD so i ride with em all... we are going again next year... same time, same place... anyone that wants to join us is more than welcome... we do trailer... why you may ask... we only have a set amount of days off work... being from chicago it is COLD still this time of year and we want to get there, plus we fly the girl, and some fo the guys down... we made good time 22 hrs there and 21 back... if you are intrested in joining us you are more than welcome... there is a shot of the house we rent in Marco Island there as well, the guys even landed a few hooters models that were on vacation...

Looks like you had a hell of a time.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
Congrats on the engagement.&nbsp\\; You're going to have to do sure serious upgrades on the bob to keep up with the V-Rod.
&nbsp\\;
Bet you got some serious stares going down the freeway with that trailer.&nbsp\\; People either thought you were a bike builder or the repo guy from hell.

Dude, did you drive a rental van, all the way down there from here in chi-town? That's awsome!, lol. I hope you got free mileage. Congrats on the engagement!&nbsp\\;Did the bike run any different at sea level? I know it shouldn't, but have to ask anyway.
