Default Finally did it

The other half is gonna be insane mad when it gets here but I went ahead and bought a Dead Center fairing for my '03 RK, I will ride most all year if the snow or rain isn't too severe, the extra block from a full fairing should do the trick and it will still be removable.

Default Food for thought!!

Why some men have dogs and not wives...


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. The later you are, the more excited your dogs are to see you.

2. Dogs don't notice if you call them by another dog's name.

3. Dogs like it if you leave a lot of things on the floor.

4. A dog's parents never visit.

5. Dogs agree that you have to raise your voice to get your point across.

6. You never have to wait for a dog; they're ready to go 24 hours a day.

7. Dogs find you amusing when you're drunk.

8. Dogs like to go hunting and fishing.

9. A dog will not wake you up at night to ask, ?If I died, would you get another dog??

10. If a dog has babies, you can put an ad in the paper and give them away.

11. A dog will let you put a studded collar on it without calling you a pervert.

12. If a dog smells another dog on you, they don't get mad. They just think it's interesting.

13. Dogs like to ride in the back of a pickup truck.

And last, but not least:

14. If a dog leaves, it won't take half of your stuff.

15. If you lock your wife and dog in the trunk of your car, come back a hour later, which one is going to be glad to see you?

Congrats as well. I'm considering between a Dragonfly and Dead center fairling. I've already planted the seed with my wife. Hopefully she'll be in full bloom when I decide to buy. I should have her ready to say yes in a few months.

Just put her infront of you on a cold night ride and tell her how much better she would feel if you had the fairing.
