No riding this weekend I had to make some steps down to the veggie patch for Mrs S and today was all about getting a 1948 Matchless Classic Racer going again......you think you know wet-sumping? This thing laid an oil smoke screen for a full 10 mins before the rider could find his way back up the hill to my house....at least a Harley just dumps oil on the floor, this was like a WW2 smoke screen!!!

Some folks just don't understand that a shiny bike is a must. OCD sure, ok, only if you tell me that. TD you just keep on shining Scarlet up. Even Spanners is gett'n the bug.

Wwhhhaaatttt? Gay? Maybe I have to show my man card!

Shiny is a disease for sure. My chrome faucets in my home shine almost as much as my Harley. =]

Did my all the lawn chores today and even had some time wash and polish the rider. 9 years old and looks like new.

A disease!
