So I am down in Kent center this morning sippin on my frozen cappichino, checkin out all the bikes like I am pretty much every Sunday. I see this freak ridin in on a blacked out vrod with a pipe that is loud is hell. I see him eye ****in the crazy monster so I walk over. Turns out it is that maniac t-rod45 from the HDforum!!!!

So anyway we shoot the **** for a bit and decide to take a rip into Ny state. Great weather, great roads, great ride. Stop at AJs in Goshen for some chow. Pretty cool dude. Oh ya, on the way to AJs we were comin down Rt8 and he blew by me like I was on a tricycle!!!!!!!!!!! Pretty sick machine.

I figured I would post this up before he gets home. He has about an hour ride. We took pics of each others bikes like a couple of homos to post up here. Anyways, good times!!!


Oh, I forgot to mention, when T-rod blew past me on Rt8 his tee shirt was blowing up, exposing his lower back. I noticed that he has a cool tattoo of a black leopard fighting a unicorn under a rainbow with some lightning bolts. Really cool!!! I mean that leopards, unicorns and rainbows are not really my thing, but hey, to each his own!! (PS I am a little cocked up and couldnt resist lol)

Well, my tramp stamp had been spotted. The cats outta the bag, what can I say?


At least I finally got to see the monster in its natural habitat with my own two eyes!





And I caught this gorilla eyeballing my bike. Think he escaped from the loony bin...

And man that thing looks great in person! I LOVE chops like that. My next build after the FXRs are done is gonna be an old sporty chop. Lean, mean and anything but clean. That rear fender is perfect man. Great job.
