Good for you brotha!!! Never give up the fight. Glad your still with us and have a BAD *** sled to boot.

All this cholo talk is making me re consider my latest brain storm. I was gonna cut the tails off my cholos and go with some different tips. Getting very popular on the forums. Just want to try something different.

I have been playing the same numbers for 22 years, never missed a single day or drawing........and I am still not rich so....I gravitate to what makes me happy. If you think the cholo's are going to make you happy, or happier, pull the trigger and do it. Also, bigger is always better! If and when I do it I am going with the longest pair I can possibly get my hands on. If I had my way my pipes would be so long a guy could hang out his laundry to dry on my pipes! I'm just sayin!!!
Trust me, I hear ya loud n clear pal. Pipes are ordered! ha ha...eff it biotches, You only get one roll of the dice man. and my sled is gonna be a bitchin ride. that's a fact, jack!

LONGTAILS CHIEF!!!!! ha ha bro. Im no fishy lover. The new, politically correct terminology is LONGTAILS. HA HA. Removable baffles n tips and the longtails are cooler than fishtails!!!

The bottom portion of the longtail swoop is like twice as long as the top. that's why they changed the name from fishy's to Longtails. You know me bro, always gotta be diff. I stopped by my Indy today and the bike is nearly finished. i should, and I use that term loosely, should have her back by next friday! the bars, grips and all my other little additions came out sweet. I can't wait to get on her again.
