Do you have the Screamin' Eagle Calorie Counter? Its the only one authorized by HD and HOG.

I remember when I used to work 7 days a week and 10-12 hrs and the boys was in little league, I had a few yrs I'd loved to have gotten in 1000 miles

you do realize this is a motorcycle forum right. Thats not a question either, thats why there is a period instead of a question mark.

If you are going to hear from them kinds of people it will be here. I am not new to the game. I prefer to ride the motorcycle, even in the rain, even when it is 44 degrees in the morning like today.

If you did not buy your bike to ride it good for you. You like to polish chrome on a 70F sunny day or bolt on a new mod, awesome. But dont get monkey butt over people who prefer and report here they will ride in conditions or miles you wont, thats just silly. I have done 300 miles this week doing my regular running around and fun riding, I have a 150 mile round trip mission tomorrow, and I will be riding the bike. The truck has sat all week, bet that makes you mad.....

Ok I'll play.

There we go, the first chest-beater on the thread. Now while we're on the subject of miles and who does or doesn't care, Let's get one thing straight that's been bothering me and making some of you guys look foolish :

It's NOT - " I could care less " It's " I couldn't care less " OK ?

If you could care less, that means you do care, and you're trying to say you don't, get it ? It's like those stupid T-shirts DILLIGAF
The answer is ALWAYS no, it doesn't look like you GAF, and that's why you'll always be short on good friends, why would you want to hang with someone who doesn't GAF ? Now if you don't GAF about mileage, that's a good thing.
