Rod,

have you thought about getting black caps for the compression releases---that blue stands out---good for starting the bike at night.

May need to invest in a helmet cam---

Manish,

It sounds like your pal has rubbed it in you face for too long. I say you have the perfect opportunity to set him up for buying dinner or drinks or maybe both. Then you can tell him about your upgrades, or not your choice. I say get even while you can.
It's funny because this guy is actually my salesman. Since he works at the stealer everytime I go in and buy something he rides me, saying that's not gonna make it faster. When I did the apes and the cables he kinda left me alone because his co-workers and his son told him my bike was looking better than his. But my last 2 visits, he was telling everyonehe would give me a 5 bike head start and how small I look in his mirrors. I don't think he has ever ridden me this hard. I told him long time ago when I found out about HQ, I was gonna shut him up and he said never because he has the best mechanics around. I can't wait.


Tear him a new A$$hole Manish. And be sure to let all the people at the Dealership know how bad you ripped him. He is fair game.
Jeff

Hey Tarheel.


I haven't been accused of being a handgun junkie but that may be an apt nickname. At last count I was over 100 by a generous amount. And Rugers are a favorite lately. Where abouts in NC. I have kin in Smithfield?

Black caps will be my second option if my 1st option doesn't work.
