A beer and some Floyd
Sitting in the garage today and cleaning the fat boy up from bike week here in OC MD. Had a few beers ( three-really) and threw some Pink Floyd ( Pulse) in the CD and thought it might be cool to pull the reflectors off tonight. WELL not the best idea!!!
What a PIA. I did it on my deuce and other HD but the reflectors on this fat boy must have been JB welded on at the factory. I used heat, fishing line, plastic scrapers, screw drivers and a whole bottle of goo gone! After throwing my back out ( not really) and throwing every F-bomb and others I got all four off but there was all the factory crap left behind an all but one. A 15 minute job turned into 1.5 hours.
OK , Needed to vent.
Going to change the bars this week but am thinking maybe some other cd ( Led Zeppelin, Heads, Stones) and maybe rum and not beer.
Can't wait to do the 107" this winter. I can only imagine what will go wrong with that one.

LMAO. Maybe I need to invite some people over and tap a keg but if I did the bars would be facing the wrong way.

I like to drink a few beers when I clean my bike too. At least I've got enough sense to know that I can only look at it after that until the next morning. Hope we all do. Got to keep those shiny sides up.

As Roger once said, it was a bunch of wonky noises and banging on things. There's a gem here and there, like Careful with that Axe Eugene, Julia Dream.

There is a funky (very pink floyd NOT) song that I really like, I'm sure you've heard it, Saint Tropez, different but still cool.
