I think the kids had more fun than we did. My 3 year old was waist deep in mud. And now I have a whole new inspiration for mods on the bike. My wallet can't keep up with my vision, LOL!

Choose where you park color wise, don't park next to a bunch of white bikes, make yours a highlighted eye candy. Shine is important of course. Attitude, don't park your bike and stand next to it like a gangster by his Caddy, pay compliments to other rides and answer all the questions asked about your ride, not just judges but public in general

Mimo.

Funny! Actually I am really wanting a heartland 250 kit but a $3K, it's going to have to wait. The Fat Cat is definately next, then maybe air ride and lowering the front. Oh yeah, and that 4" stretched fender from klock werks. I gotta get all that crap (license plate holder, taillight, etc.) off my rear fender.

We can lower your front any day. I have done three bikes so far and have the setup to get it done in a couple of hours.
