Guys… Don’t worry or fuss about me.

I know many of you in the colder parts of the US are probably deeply concerned about the cold front we’re getting here in Florida.

It’s gonna be ok, don’t start a Go Fund Me or anything. We’ll power through as men. We did lose a whole 7 hours of time that was just too cold to ride.

But have faith, we’ll endure, I have a long sleeve shirt, so don’t worry about us down here in Florida.

Thanks for relieving us of that worry...otherwise, I was going to suggest you take some of that nice, warm sand you have so much of, and pound it into your "Key West"! 😏

I may need to ride down there and endure the freezing 78 degree weather to get some of this sand you speak of.

Check marketplace in the BayArea currently there’s an early 90’s RK right now under 4K, looks good to.

Your FXR looks pretty darn nice. And it’s a Shovelhead! I wish I still had mine (1987 FXRS-SP).
Whatever floats your boat. That Heritage looks sweet. A ‘99 Evo is hard to beat.

I bought my FXRS at the peak of the FXR "fuss" and it didn't meet the hype lol. I tried to find forward controls for the it but didn't have much luck. The ones that would fit were too expensive for my taste, considering how much I ride it.

I did see a couple nice ones in the NY area but too lazy to take that ride.

Yep.. taking up all that space.. darn near worthless. Friend, I’m here to help, I’ll come get that uncomfortable mess outta your garage. I won’t charge you a penny. I’m just a neighborly kind of guy.

I get it, I'm retired and have too much time on my hands. I’ve been guilty lurking around Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and local area swap meets picking up parts and projects that I don’t need. It’s a sickness really. My family and friends have pleaded with me to seek Professional help or to join Motorcycle Hoarders Anonymous, but so far, I have resisted.
