Default I've decided...

I hate cleaning the Ultra[&:]

It has never been properly cleaned so I figured I'd wash it and do some misc stuff. 3 hours and a sun burn later I was done...washed, detailed, and waxed.

Then I added a lock to the removeable tour pack, Centerline brake pedal, highway pegs, and shifter pegs (the shifters are a real pita)...still waiting for floorboard parts.

Busy day. now I have to nurse the sun burn. Wore shorts with lily white legs....bad idea.[:@]

Yeah I made the mistake of doing the same thing helping the Hubby outside the other day. Wore shorts for the first time this year and have been paying for it for the last two days. [sm=oopssign.gif]Damn those Ultra's have a lot to clean and detail on them!

Yeah the jeans are gonna suck! I had to work yesterday and wore jeans. I was miserable all day. I could feel the heat thru my jeans when I was sitting at work. I have to work again tomorrow, so I am hopeing that my legs are better in the morning.

Have fun on your ride. Hope it isn't too painful.[&:]
