Default me, txbowhunter, & PhilM

had a great day, foolin around with my bike and fixin Kdietz's bike....installed a Platinum Air system on my bike....and fixed what i fubar'd on Karl's bike...those guys are great....its what motorcyclin is all about...figurin stuff out with buds, laughin at dumbass things and victory over ***-kickin projects....Karl brought his bike over on friday not leakin a drop of oil....we(karl & me)put a new pan on and WALLA, instant bigass leak....seems as tho i crumpled the gasket....today we found out why...first off the moco designed acoupla springs in the cheap windage tray just to headache shadetree wrench's....then they put that goofy crossmember under and in the way....Karls was bent and took away what little workin room there was....Phil and Paul almost let me use a sawzall to get rid of it but at the last minute we figured out a jakelegged fix that worked and got the job done....no thanks to our buddy Karl who was probly playin golf or somethin [:-]....wish everyday could go like this one with no problems and just good buds foolin with bikes

I sure had a blast just hang'n around the shop today too! .... but I thought we agreed we weren't gonna tell Karl we cut the crossmember off and welded it back!!!!!!! [&:]

Today was the first time I've seen the wheels and brake setup that Shooter hooked ya up with, in person. Man, those look GREAT!

Ya know, I never really understood the whole SagginBagger frenzy, but that Platnium Air system is way cool! Cool enough that I'd actually consider one.

Look'n forward to next time!

It should be illegal for some people to hang out together Sounded like a fun time. Me, I just tinkered about with my project and slept for the afternoon. Now, it's off to the shower and headed into work for a mild New England midnight shift which = domestics and DWI's
