Steve ~ You didn't buy a Dyna because my engineis bigger than yours did you?

Congrats! Nice Bike!

Thanks everyone for the compliments!
Michelle, so nice to hear from you! I actually went and got my Sporty converted to a 1200 after the last rash of poop I got from you! But yes, I'm sure I will be on the Wide Glide for my trip this summer, my buddy is looking at a Street Bob as we speak.
Last night I was up till midnight installing a new battery, some chrome goodies and changing the oil. Today I am dropping it off at my mechanics' shop to have a V&H 2-1 Pro Pipe, Screamin' Eagle a/c and a jet kit installed. Then next Saturday, I have a ride in scheduled at Corbin in Hollister to have a Hollywood Solo made for me at which point I hope to be done!! More pics to follow!!

Up until midnight putting on chrome???Reminds me of a fat kid in a candy store with a pocket full of nickels.
And as far as me flippin' you crap, I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm the sweetest, most caring, kind hearted.... SON of a gun that lightening bolt darn near hit me.

Seriously congrats on the new scoot, I can't wait to see more pics!

Take care of yourself,
Michelle

After the holidays, I reminded myself of a fat kid, period! I seriously went up to 278 pounds, not to good!! I haven't stepped on a scale since mid January, but I'm fairly certain that I've slimmed back down to a svelte 265 by now, at least my jeans fit right again!!
