Hey. You better watch it.

You start talking to much of that Keith Code 'Twist of the Wrist' stuff here and you're gonna confuse the old guys...

Damn sir.

Not sure I could handle the stress of all those lights and warnings...not sure how you do it.

I opt for the 'easy button'...

When the trip counter hits about 150 or so (I don't want to be too concerned with 'specific' numbers), I start looking for fuel. Very simple.

Not sure I would want some light bulb making decisions for me. Light bulbs are known to make poor decisions.

Ride "Jumpman" ... And don't make any left hand turns, they're dangerous. 3 rights equal a left anyway. And as far as the "# thing" is concerned ... I'm technology challenged when it comes to that ... Hell, my cell phone still flips open and has an antenna you have to pull out ... But it makes all the calls I need it too.

While there, I also looked at the V&H Hi-Output (round). Those are quite slick.
Unfortunately. I couldn't hear what either sound like.

- Fortunately, the parts guy that I work with regularly introduced me to another customer who had just gotten a set of CFR's installed on his 2007 Ultra Classic. I finally got to hear what all the hype is about...Those sound absolutely incredible. Without question, they sound like (my definition of) the perfect exhaust. They also look really, really good.
* I know there are currently threads concerning the quality/longevity of the CFR chrome...but, that notwithstanding, this set looked great.

As rapper 'Ice Cube' said. Today was a good day.
